What is 'uneared womb'?

Hi,

Could you please help me with the following fragment of a sonnet?

I would reword it as:

For where you can find a woman whose uneared womb is so fair that she disdains your husbandry (man’s) tillage?
Or whoever is so fond of his self-love to stop raising up seed that he will become his own tomb?

  1. Is that correct?
  2. Is ‘uneared womb’ = uncultivated womb = vestal virgin?
  3. Why ‘self-love’? Is it = cheeseparing?

Thank you!

Haihao

I would reword it as ‘How can she be fair if she has not produced babies? And what person is so fond of death that he does not want to have children?’

1-- HERE’S more than I would be able to come up with myself, concerning some Shakespeare apocrypha.

2-- No, egocentrism.
