Overt borrowing is not limited to exact word-for-word reproduction. A later poet may preserve an earlier poetic thought while replacing words with synonyms, changing forms or using another arrangement.
Lack of identical vocabulary does not end the inquiry. One must ask whether the particular structure of the idea survives or only a broad moral subject remains.
If a distinctive meaning is retained in full, the question of semantic taking survives substantial verbal revision.
