In "Honour" of the Long-Weekend

I present the following definition:

tofore (also to fore, to-fore, toforn), preposition and adverb:
Before. (Archaic)

"Toforn hym gooth the loude mynstralcye" -Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales (Late 14th cent.)
"where thorow the kynges enemyes durste not ryde as they dyd to fore to aspye" -Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte d'Arthur (1485)
"O, would thou wert as thou tofore hast been!" -William Shakespeare, Titus Andronicus (1594?)

Origin: From Old English toforan

And now, I believe it's probably time for me to apologise to anyone who actually got the terrible terrible pun.
