Hatton
The dancing chancellor. Sir Christopher Hatton was brought up
to the law, but became a courtier, and attracted the attention of Queen
Elizabeth by his very graceful dancing at a masque. The queen took him
into favour, and soon made him both chancellor and knight of the
garter. (He died in 1591.)
His bushy beard, and shoestrings green,
His high-crowned hat and satin doublet,
Moved the stout heart of England's queen,
Though Pope and Spaniard could not trouble it.
Gray.
