"The churl in spirit" may be found in all ranks of society. Even the king,
holding the golden ball of state, may be "at heart a clown."
The "coltish nature" will break out through all the disguises of fashion:
but in Hallam
"God and nature met in light,
And thus he bore without abuse
The grand old name of gentleman,[80]
Defamed by every charlatan,
And soil'd with all ignoble use."
