Question

Comment on the metaphor used in sonnet - 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

The extended metaphor of farming runs throughout Sonnet 3. In lines 5-6, the speaker asks the fair lord, "For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb / Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?" The word "unear'd" means "unploughed," and here is used metaphorically as a reference to sexual intercourse.
