Prior to, poetically (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ere

(Other definitions for ere that I've seen before include "Archaic word for before - a palindrome" , "Before (poetic)" , "Before, poetically" , "Before (lit.)" , "Old prior" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Penny Press.
