This might be a double definition.

'desire shakespeare' is the first definition.
'will' can be an answer for 'shakespeare' (William Shakespeare). I'm unsure of the 'desire' bit.

'say?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for will that I've seen before include "mind" , "self-control" , "Determination; 22 author" , "Shakespeare < 's intention to leave something" , "Last testament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
