well, i dont know about 18, but the theme of sonnet 73 is mortality, and death and old age. Shakespeare is not talking about literal death, but the death of his creative nature, which is what his friendship with the young man is based on. Shaksepeare uses many metaphors to explain his point, and he is not mourning his physical death, but the death of his poems, creativity and such, which to him is a much greater loss
