Twere

"Twere" is an archaic or poetic way of saying "it were." "Twere" is the second-person singular and third-person singular form of the verb "to be" in the conditional mood, but in modern English, we use "were" for this grammatical function. For example: If thou wert going to the movies, I would like to go with you. (Here "wert" is an old second-person singular form of "to be.") It were a lovely day today. (Here "were" is in the third person singular form with the same grammatical function as above.) In other words, "twere" is an old-fashioned or poetic form that adds a somewhat formal or affected touch to modern English language.
