Speak I will a little while
Of usher of chamber without guile.
There is gentleman-, yeoman-usher[[237]] also,
Two grooms at the least, a page thereto.
De Officio Garcionum[[238]]
Grooms shall make litter[[237]] and stuff pallets out,
Nine foot in length without a doubt,
Seven foot certainly shall it be broad,
Well watered and bound together, craftily trod,
With wisps drawn out at feet and side,
