Like and court nymph at first overcome with emotion (6)

'overcome with emotion' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'like and court nymph at first' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'court' becomes 'woo' (both can mean to romance someone).
'at first' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'nymph' is 'n'.
'as'+'woo'+'n'='ASWOON'

Can you help me to learn more?
