Poet putting love on tape (4)
I believe the answer is:
ovid
'poet' is the definition.
(famous Roman poet)
'love on tape' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tape' becomes 'vid' (short for videotape).
'o'+'vid'='OVID'
'putting' is the link.
(Other definitions for ovid that I've seen before include "Classical poet" , "Latin poet (Ars amatoria, Metamorphoses)" , "Metamorphoses author" , "Old linesman" , "Roman known for his love poetry" .)
