He ropes in girl above Shakespearean? (7)
I believe the answer is:
lassoer
'he ropes' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'girl above shakespearean?' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'lass' (lass can informally mean a girl).
'above shakespearean?' becomes 'oer' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'lass'+'oer'='LASSOER'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lassoer that I've seen before include "entertainer on horseback?" , "Ropy sort of guy" .)
