Almost everywhere; but look especially at: 109-119, 152, and
(ironically): 116

While Sonnet 138 emphasizes the lady's unfaithfulness, the speaker also
confesses untruthfulness.

Certainly? I have never considered or read that anyone else considered
this sonnet as having such a specific referent. Rather, isn't it an
extended treatment of the phenomenon Horace noted more pithily in his
famous epigram: Omne animal post coitum triste est, praeter galumque et
mulierem. Since WS did not write the sonnets from the standpoint of
women or roosters, only the first part is illustrated in the poem.

Isn't it possible that Sonnet 98 alludes to alternative dalliances
figured by its inadequate spring flowers?
