Motherhood is priced Of God, at price no man may dare To lessen or misunderstand.

The lines elevate motherhood as a sacred vocation whose worth is set by divine, not human, standards. By saying it is “priced / Of God,” the speaker frames maternal labor and sacrifice as beyond ordinary economic or social valuation; no man (and, by extension, no society) has the moral authority to discount it or treat it as sentimental, secondary, or merely domestic. The warning against “lessen[ing] or misunderstand[ing]” suggests a corrective to cultural habits that romanticize mothers while ignoring their real burdens, or that judge women’s lives by male-centered measures of achievement. The passage thus functions as both praise and admonition: reverence must translate into recognition and respect.
