I'm not sure if this counts as a pun, but it's a play on words. In the sonnet "When My Love Swears That She Is Made of Truth," he says, "Therefore I lie with her, and she with me," meaning that they are both fibbing to each other... but clearly it's also about them sleeping together.
Is it in Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet that a character (Mercutio or Hamlet) says something about a dead guy being a "grave man?"

Hum! This fellow might be
in's time a great buyer of land, with his statutes,
his recognizances, his fines, his double vouchers,
his recoveries: is this the fine of his fines, and
the recovery of his recoveries, to have his fine
pate full of fine dirt? will his vouchers vouch him
no more of his purchases, and double ones too, than
the length and breadth of a pair of indentures? The
very conveyances of his lands will hardly lie in
this box; and must the inheritor himself have no more, ha? Hamlet (5.1.103-112).
