Good day, Just don’t want to give up on this one yet! Thought I had the poet’s surname in the middle of the grid, but am determined to find his poem. Meanwhile, I’m seeking answers and parsing if possible for this last batch of very tricky clues for me. Thanks again!

15 Chiel relaxed about university (5): ????M
20 Playful grandchild is disrupting Thursday (6) : ???I?H
46 Stew involving cloudy liquid myrrh (6) : ?TA???
48 Ancient partisan needs help playing viol at first (6): ??EL??
DOWN:
2 Many bats sat close to British bird (5) : ???A?

46 Stacte.

I can't do the others, either. :-)
15 Calum?
2 Mynah
20 impish?
28 inholder
20 Toyish, playful. T is H, is disrupting Thurd=sday, with Oy, grandchild, inside.
13 Tequilla, variation of Tequila, drink. Tea, drink, with Quill, toothpick, inside.
Why is OY... grandchild, NACW?
PS I wouldn't describe my poet as being 'in the middle of the grid'. I'm glad this is the last batch, Matakari!
Scottish dialect for grancdchild Tilly2.
Sorry, Tilly2, I missed you. Oy, oye and oe are Scottish words for grandchild - they crop up quite regularly!
Question Author
Many thanks, all! Any help for 48 ( A ), NACW?
Thanks, Matakari. 48 is Guelph, ancient partisan. (Gu, viol and Help, anagrammed)
Question Author
Many thanks again, NACW! This time I think I've got the poem and the author.
I'll be back after completing the grid!
Thanks, Matakari - we'll have a concerted sigh of relief!
Question Author
The "concerted sigh of relief" is in order, NACW! It's done.
I got sidetracked earlier by Ernst thinking he was the poet
referred to.
Matakari, thanks. I'm relieved you/we got this one finished (especially after your last encounter with Pabulum!).
P.S. Is the poet Greek?
No, he is English (4 letters)
Thank you, Novalis. That narrows it down a bit. :-)
