Read these lines from "Ozymandias." Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

What is the meaning of the pun in these lines?

The statue "lies" in pieces and also "lies" about who Ozymandias really was.

The face of the statute is "shattered" in the same way that Ozymandias "shattered" the kingdom.

The statue is "sunk" just as Ozymandias himself was lowered into the ground.

The traveler is not telling the truth about what he saw.
