An interesting list.

There's a pun on knave/nave.

"villain dwelling" is a place where a villain (peasant) dwells.

A peasant's dwelling is a village or a Hamlet.

So "nary a villain dwelling in all of Denmark but he's an arrant knave" are "whirling words,"  puns for "every Hamlet (Sr & Jr) in Denmark is an arrant nave - the hub of a wheel, or the nave of a church."  ("For my part I'll go pray.")  

See http://academia.wikia.com/wiki/Motifs_in...

especially the section Fine Revolution and How the Wheel Becomes It for more detail.  

Other puns:  

mole of nature / old mole.

"weak hams" - Hamlet, with sinews grown "instant old,"  weakened in the book of his brain after writing old men there "though I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down."

Hamlet metaphorically wrote his father in the "book and volume of his brain" and his uncle in his "tablets."  Then old Polonius "boarded" him.

Then Hamlet is seen reading an actual book, which is full of old men.

That is probably an example of one of the words on your list, but I don't know which one.  I'll have to study your list.
