Erst

Spain, Spanish
Hello,
I am translating Shakespeare's 12 sonet into Spanish and I cannot find a translation for the word erst (I guess is an abbreviation?). Can you help me, please?

"When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
which *erst* from heat did canopy the herd
And summer's green all grided up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard."

Thanks!

    erst = once

    En este caso, "en un momento en el pasado"

    Te deseo suerte en tu tarea!
