Analyze verse (4)
I believe the answer is:
scan
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">analyze verse</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for scan that I've seen before include "Survey - fit in metrically" , "Hercule ---, detective" , "Look over (in order to copy?)" , "convert metres into feet?" , "Look briefly through" .)
