Quote from a recited verse (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cite

'quote' is the definition.
(I know that quote can be written as cite)

'from a recited verse' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'CITE' is hidden in the letters of 'recited verse'.

(Other definitions for cite that I've seen before include "Quote (a reference)" , "Mention as example or quote" , "Use quotations" , "name" , "Give as an example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
