Bard's "before" (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ere

'bard's before' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ere that I've seen before include "Archaic word for before - a palindrome" , "Before (in poetry)" , "Before (poetic)" , "Before, poetically" , "One who steals" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the LA Times and the Universal.
