Can't disagree with the mouse! You see lots of this kind of wordplay in GL's poetry and music--this may be another topic for another day.
By the way, as for Cervantes being a "peer of William Shakespeare", not only do I agree, but here's a some trivia for you. Cervantes and Shakespeare both died and didn't die on the same day! Both died on April 23, 1616; however, at that time Spain and England used different calendars, and the two great authors died some 10 days apart.
