Does translate some verses (4)
I believe the answer is:
odes
'some verses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'does translate' is the wordplay.
'translate' indicates anagramming the letters.
'does' anagrammed gives 'ODES'.
(Other definitions for odes that I've seen before include "poetry" , "verse" , "Keats was fond of them" , "Lines" , "Lyric poems" .)
