When was Sonnet 116 published?

Answer 1

In this famous Sonnet, Shakespeare declares that true love should overcome and outlast any obstacle. The opening two lines evoke words from the Christian church marriage service.

Some commentators suggest that the poet is here referring to his own love for his addressee, which, he asserts, will not be dented or deflected by the misdeeds of the latter. However, given the wider context (of Shakespeare's Sonnets, read as a whole sequence), it appears that the poem is more an appeal to a former friend to forgive the lapses of the poet. "Don't", Shakespeare appears to be saying, "let the impediments of my behaviour sour our relationship".

Answer 2

The dating of Shakespeare's Sonnet 61 is, as with most of his works, a matter of deduction or guesswork.

There is, however, much evidence to suggest that the sonnets were, in effect, correspondence from the poet to his patron, Henry Wriothesley. On this basis, the poem was probably composed around 1592/3. Read more in The Biography in Shakespeare's Sonnets(at the link below).
