I am not an expert on Shakespeare's poetry either, but as the author of
the patch where Sonnet 1 is included, I can say that 'memeory' is a typo
(sorry). At least I didn't use that word intentionally. I don't know if
there is any textual variant 'memeory', but in my case it is nothing
more than a simple typo :-).
