Before, to Shakespeare (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ere

'before to shakespeare' 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 "Old word for before" , "One who steals" , "Before (poetic)" , "Old prior" , "Before (in time)" .)

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