Yes but...

Yes, I knew that's his general meaning. But that was not my
question.

It is this: does shakespeare mean

1) I never wrote; also, no man has ever been in love

or

2) I never wrote, and _I_ never loved any man.

I'm quite aware that this is a question that's been debated
before, and the text really gives us no idea as to what it's
"real" meaning is. If it's the latter, then it certainly
would not be the first time homoerotic ideas has surfaced in
Shakespeare.
