17a Leonardo's Painted Lady - love poem that's big in China? (2,3)

L?/??O

Any suggestions? The clue looks much too long for the solution!

I think it's LI SAO (a Chinese poem), but I can't parse the rest.

27d Unspecified ordinal number restricted by obsolete letter (4) e?t?
What is going on here?
If I am right the answer usually has only 3 letters ie without the initial 'e'.

That;s what I thought, stumped - didn't like it though (lazy compiling). Should be either 3 letters or 5, I think.

Changed my mind - not necessarily 5 letters (only in the teens!)

btw the parsing is fine (put the three letters other than "n" + "letter" in Google) - it's the definition that's dodgy.

Could someone please tell me if 19a is war or raw and also what is the answer to 14a. I know this is not in the spirit of non-spoiler etiquette, but my back hurts. Thanks
