Excerpt from book: OF THE PERIOD AT WHICH THE EARLIER SONNETS WERE WRITTEN, THE PERSON TO WHOM THEY ARE ADDRESSED. That the greater portion of Shakspeare's sonnets was written at too early a period for William Herbert to have been the ' begetter, ' is capable of positive, absolute, and overwhelming proof. First, we have the poet's 'sugred sonnets among his private friends, ' known to Meres in 1598.
