Just some wordsmith, or a celebrated poet? (6)
I believe the answer is:
horace
'poet?' is the definition.
(Roman poet)
'just some wordsmith or a celebrated' is the wordplay.
'just some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HORACE' is hidden within 'wordsmith or a celebrated'.
(Other definitions for horace that I've seen before include "Latin ode writer" , "Roman lyric poet, d.8BC -- a chore (anag)" , "Roman poet and satirist" , "Boy's name - Roman poet" , "Is it a chore to read this old Roman poet?" .)
