yore
noun
outrora
EN Instead of the great tree that used to shelter the quiet little Dutch inn of yore, there now was reared a tall naked pole, with something on the top that looked like a red night-cap, and from it was fluttering a flag, on which was a singular assemblage of stars and stripes --all this was strange and incomprehensible.
GL No canto da grande árbore que adoitaba dar refuxio á tranquila taberna holandesa de outrora, agora elevábase un mastro moi longo, que tiña algo no alto que parecía un gorro de durmir vermello, e no que ondeaba unha bandeira cunha curiosa serie de bandas e estrelas. Todo aquilo era tan estraño coma incomprensible.

antano
EN In this enterprise, however, he had more real difficulties than generally fell to the lot of a knight-errant of yore, who seldom had any thing but giants, enchanters, fiery dragons, and such like easily-conquered adversaries, to contend with; and had to make his way merely through gates of iron and brass, and walls of adamant, to the castle keep, where the lady of his heart was confined; all which he achieved as easily as a man would carve his way to the centre of a Christmas pie; and then the lady gave him her hand as a matter of course.
GL Sen embargo, para logra-la tal fazaña tería que se enfrontar con máis dificultades que un cabaleiro andante de antano, que a penas tiña que loitar contra xigantes, encantadores, dragóns, e outros adversarios tan doados de vencer, e só tiña que abrir camiño entre portas de ferro e latón e muros de rocha viva ata chegar ó interior do castelo, onde estaba encerrada a dama dos seus pensamentos, que despois casaba con el coma se fose cousa de tódolos días, e todo iso era tan fácil de conseguir coma cortar un pastel de nadal.
