A poet could use 'fore, in the same manner as e'er. (pronounced "air")

The reason for this is to reduce the number of syllables in a line that represent the meaning being used.

This is the same reason that poetry often omits the articles A, AN, THE or uses commas instead of conjunctions, within a line or between lines.
