    From Act 1, sc. 1, when Benedick and Beatrice are exchanging insults, one example of a pun is: "What my dear Lady Disdain!  Are you yet living?" spoken by Benedick to Beatrice.  He uses the word "disdain" both as a name for Beatrice and as a description of her attitude toward him.  She shows him scorn, or disdain.

    "Claudio: Now you talk of a sheet of paper, I remember a pretty jest your daughter told us of.

    Leonato: O, when she had writ it and was reading it over, she found Benedick and Beatrice between the sheet.

    The word sheet is used to refer to a piece of paper and used to refer to a  bed sheet, with an innuendo placed in between about Beatrice and Benedick.
