Does translate verses (4)
I believe the answer is:
odes
'verses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'does translate' is the wordplay.
'translate' indicates anagramming the letters.
'does' is an anagram of 'ODES'.
(Other definitions for odes that I've seen before include "Lyric poems" , "Poets write them" , "Verses" , "Lays" , "Keats was fond of them" .)
