Oxford, and travelled in England, Scotland and France. On his return his various accomplishments, especially his " most excellent vein " in poetry, procured him a place at court, He was groom of the chamber to Henry VII. as early as 1502. He could repeat by heart the works of most of the English poets, especially the poems of John Lydgate, whom he called his master. He was still living in 1521, when it is stated in Henry VIIL's household accounts that 6, 13s. 4d. was paid " to Mr Hawes for his play," and he died before 1J30, when Thomas Field, in his " Conversation between a Lover and a Jay," wrote " Yong Steven Hawse, whose smile God pardon, Treated of love so clerkly and well."
