Does the speaker in "The prologue" try to strike a balance between pride and humility?

In the last stanza, Bradstreet conveys that she believes her work is humble. Her poems are not “bays” but rather, they are “thyme or parsley wreath[s],” which are simple, unimpressive household plants. I do not find Bradstreet's words to be prideful.
