I meant to add, that I love the pun in the last line of 73, where he tells the friend that "thou must leave ere long." The surface meaning is that the friend will have to leave the speaker before long, since the speaker is old and will soon die. But he is also telling the friend that, like the autumn trees at the start of the sonnet, the friend will "leave" (as if leaf) - that is, he will also reach his autumn years.
