Etymology 2

Etymology unclear, but probably from Proto-Germanic *karzijan? (“to turn”), from Proto-Indo-European *gers- (“to bend, turn”). Compare cair (“to turn, go”), char (“to turn”), Dutch keren (“to turn”), German Kehre (“turn, bend”).

Shakespeare had something of a fondness for verbalizing nouns, and sometimes even substantivizing verbs. However, anything other than a "turn" does not seem to make any sense within the broader context of the cited Sonnet.
