sonnet 109 was originally published in 1609 with the rest of shakespeare's sonnets as a collection dedicated to "mr. w.h." and now referred to as the 1609 quarto or quarto 1. sonnet 109 belongs to the group of sonnets (1-126) that are commonly categorized as "sonnets to a fair youth." this group of sonnets, according to arthur f. marotti, "consists of poems written to a younger man who is clearly treated as a patron". the identity of this young patron, who is likely the "mr. w.h." to whom shakespeare dedicated the sonnets, is considered by many historians and shakespearean analysts to be henry wriothesley, third earl of southampton. martin green supports this hypothesis with the evidence that shakespeare never wrote dedications in of his works to any person besides wriothesley. shakespeare's relationship with this young man as interpreted from this group of sonnets is not entirely clear; his words of love and affection could be a bid for more favor, or as judith kegan gardiner maintains, a true love that surprised and startled shakespeare. even if shakespeare's sonnets are accepted as an expression of genuine love, there is still no consensus in academia whether this love was sexual in nature. many critics argue that shakespeare was homosexual, while others maintain that he was heterosexual, including the noteworthy shakespeare analyst a. l. rowse, who has claimed "shakespeare is the bawdiest of the elizabethan dramatists, with the natural bawdy of the highly sexed normal heterosexual".
