Hi, Stardust,
Yes, these are great sonnets, aren't they!
I think my fav is 73.
I notice that line 4 of 112 is not quite right - perhaps a transcription error, or a variant I don't know.
Most texts give the line as:
"So you o'ergreen my bad, my good allow?"
Which means that the friend covers (or "over-greens") the poet's faults, like a layer of ivy growing on a building covers any flaws in the brickwork with its green leaves.
