Good morning! Many thanks, teacher1, I’ve now got all the Unclueds for this one, but am stuck on the piece of poetry. A hint of two or three words should help me to sort it out. My letters: AM?G?T?M?N?S?E. Thanks in advance!

Matakari, could you please confirm that you do NOT send in these crosswords that you 'do'.

Neveracrossword

Matakari, didn't the preamble say how many words are in 9D? I think 'a hint of two or three words' would mean that you would have almost nothing to do!

Question Author

Many thanks, NACW, I've got it, and I also see the hint in the title "struck hard".

Matakari, please respond to my post.
