In the absence of direct evidence from the author, we can only theorize on the answers to this question, based on other available information.

There is much evidence to suggest that Sonnets 1-126 were addressed to Shakespeare's patron, Henry Wriothesley and that they represented correspondence between the pair. There are also several peculiarities of their publication, in 1609, with Sonnets 127 -154 and a longish poem, A Lover's Complaint. Taking all into account, it becomes probable that Sonnets 127-154 were similarly supplied by Shakespeare to his patron and that they deal mainly with their mutual girlfriend, a dark-haired and dark-eyed woman (who, so far, is not yet identified beyond reasonable doubt).
