A Maister and two Wardens in skill expert,

The trade to rule and give men their desert.

And for utilitie that cannot be denied,

That many are the Proffitts that arise

To all men by the Farriers arte beside.

To them they are tied, by their necessities,

From the Kinge's steede unto the ploweman's cart,

All stande in neede of Farriers skillfull arte.

In peace at hande the Farriers must be hadde,

For lanncing, healinge, bleedinge, and for shooeinge,
