For anncestrie of tyme oh! who canne tell

The first beginning of so old a trade,

For Horses were before the Deluge fell,

And cures, and shoes, before that tyme were made,

We need not presse tyme farther then it beares,

A Company have Farriers beene 300 Yeres!!

And in this Cittie London have remayned

Called by the name of Marshall Farriers,

Which title of Kinge Edward the Third was gaynde,

For service done unto him in his warres,
