Value of prose for poet? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wordsworth

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

'poet?' is the definition.
(I know this)

'value of prose' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'value' could be 'worth' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'worth' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wordsworth that I've seen before include "Romantic poet" , "Poet (of the 20s)" , "writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
