Did you know that off the top of your head? That it was sonnet 130? Like Serena, I really only remember beginning lines, not which one they actually are.
I did, but I'll let you in on a secret: I have a horribly hard time remembering which sonnet has which number, but there is an audio recording of Alan Rickman reading this one and that makes it easier. Plus, I use it for teaching, and it's one of my favourites. Just don't give me the first lines of some other sonnet that doesn't come with additional Alan Rickman awesomeness and ask me which number it is. It would disillusion us both. *grins*
