The usher of chamber smallest shall have,

The steward in hand shall have a staff

A finger great,[[216]] two quarters[[217]] long,

To rule the men of court among.

De Janitore[[218]]

The porter falls to keep the gate,

The stocks[[219]] with him, early and late

If any man has in court misgone,

To-porter-ward he shall be tane,

There to abide the lord’s will,
