Now this really is clever. In Poul Anderson's A Midsummer Tempest (London, 1975), this sentence:
" 'Uneasy hies tha head what caeres for clowns.' " (p. 107)
not only parodies a famous Shakespeare quotation:
"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." (Henry IV, Part II, Act 3, Scene 1)
but also rhymes three times with it:
lies, hies;
wears, "caeres";
crowns, clowns.
There will be more.
