This phrase means many ancient words of the poets. There is nothing wrong with the word order.
Poetarum is genitive plural; hence, poets not poet. If it were genitive singular, the correct form would be poetae.

Oops. You misread verbera for verba. Happens to the best of us.
Many ancient words of (the) poets.
Do you know where the text comes from?
