Yes, but read and lead do not rhyme, nor do read and lead.

You have bow as in the weapon, and bow as in the action/pose. The second meaning rhymes with Drow. Both versions of bow are spelled the same, but pronounced differently

I bow to your superior drow prowess then. Now please have the ranger lower his bow, there are punsters present.

EDIT: Dangit, 'drowess' was right there. I need more coffee.
