Like star-cross'd lovers I enshrined in poetry (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

veronese

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like star-cross'd lovers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'i enshrined in poetry' is the wordplay.
'i' becomes 'one' (Roman numeral for one).
'enshrined in' indicates putting letters inside.
'poetry' becomes 'verse' (synonyms).
'one' going inside 'verse' is 'VERONESE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for veronese that I've seen before include "Marriage at Cana artist" , "Paolo --, Italian painter" .)
