"Shakespeare's sonnets" are a collection of 154 sonnets by William Shakespeare first published in 1609. The collection ends with the narrative poem "A Lover's Complaint". While the first 17 sonnets of the collection are dealing with the topic of procreation and are addressed to a young man, as well as sonnets 18-126 dealing with the writer's love to the young man, the last sequence (sonnets 127-154) is dedicated to the Dark Lady.
