Does translate some poetry (4)
I believe the answer is:
odes
'poetry' is the definition.
(ode is a type of poem)
'does translate' is the wordplay.
'translate' indicates anagramming the letters.
'does' is an anagram of 'ODES'.
'some' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for odes that I've seen before include "Works by Pindar" , "Keats was fond of them" , "Verses" , "Poems in praise" , "Lyric poems" .)
