Many times, poetically (3)
I believe the answer is:
oft
'many times poetically' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for oft that I've seen before include "Many times, of old" , "Many times, to the poet" , "''... in the stilly night'' (Moore melody)" , "(In poetry) frequently" , "Many times (archaic)" .)
