In an attempt to move this debate on a little, how should we
interpret the first seventeen sonnets in the sequence?
They appear to be addressed to the same "Golden Boy" of the
following sonnets; but these are not love poems at all.
The message of these sonnets is quite clear -- the narrator
is imploring the recipient to get married and have children,
which strikes me as a very odd thing to do if the two of them
were lovers.
