Being a "Listener" is there a theme affecting the clues before solving?

thank you! there is a theme, but these clues are normal, and that must be right.

shakespeare's pro Spenser's named source of odes being apprehended (4)

Have seen this answered as

ROAD

But confess I have no idea and no parsing was given.

Hi mamya, your post intrigues me and I am no expert on Shakespeare but there is a line from Julius Caesar I think, " This doll tearsheet should be some road " doll t being a prostitute "pro". Could this be relevant?

Chambers gives ROAD as Pro(stitute) ' Shakespeare'.


Then source of odes - O
In RAD (Spenser's term for the past tense of 'read'

very convoluted but my best shot.

Seems spot on to me.
