Crossword Genius

Poet finds title next to name (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lord byron

'poet' is the definition.
(I know that Lord Byron has the occupation poet)

'title next to name' is the wordplay.
'title' becomes 'lord' (I have seen 'Noble title ' mean 'lord' so perhaps 'title' could also mean 'lord').
'next to' becomes 'by'.
'name' becomes 'ron' (short for Ronald).
'lord'+'by'+'ron'='LORD BYRON'

'finds' is the link.

(Another definition for lord byron that I've seen is " English poet".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
