SIR JOHN HARRINGTON English courtier, wit, poet and satirical writer (1561 - 1612)
Word attributed to him:
"The readers and the hearers like my books, And yet some writers cannot them digest; But what care I? for when I make a feast, I would my guests should praise it, not the cooks." - Against Writers that Carp at other Men's Books "Fortune, men say, doth give too much to many, But yet she never gave enough to any." - Epigram--Of Fortune [ "A tailor, though a man of upright dealing,-- True but for lying,--honest but for stealing,-- Did fall one day extremely sick by chance And on the sudden was in wondrous trance." - Of a Precise Tailor "He bought a Bible of the new translation, And in his life he show'd great reformation; He walked mannerly and talked meekly; He heard three lectures and two sermons weekly; He vow'd to show all companions unruly, And in this speech he used no oath but "truly;" And zealously to keep the Sabbath's rest." - Of a Precise Tailor "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason." - Of Treason--Epigrams (bk. IV, ep. V) "Best fishing in troubled waters." - Orlando Furioso (bk. XII)
HARRINGTON, SIR JOHN, 1561 - 1612. Poet, courtier, and inventor of the water closet. He was the son of John Harrington and Isabel Markham, who were friends and servants of Queen Elizabeth, and had been imprisoned with her in the tower when she was Princess. She was godmother to him. He attended court, and was always held affectionately by the Queen. He did get into trouble with the Queen on several occasions, but was always forgiven. Much of what we know about the court in the last years of Queen Elizabeth's reign comes from his writings. ---- per www.elizabethi.org/uk/who/a-m.html
The Engines of Our Ingenuity is Copyright © 1988-1997 by John H. Lienhard.Sir John Harington's father had first been married to the illegitimate daughter of King Henry VIII. But Harington was born to his father's second wife. So he missed being Queen Elizabeth's nephew, and Elizabeth assumed the role of Godmother to young John Harington.
The high-spirited Harington had easy natural wit. He was a fine poet. In his mid-twenties he translated the story of Gioconda -- the raciest part of Ariosto's epic poem, Orlando Furioso. He was probably trying to impress the ladies of Elizabeth's court.
Trouble was, the Gioconda story sounded a little like Elizabeth's marital negotiations with European monarchs. She angrily ordered a very odd punishment. She suspended Harington -- sent him home. He was not to return until he'd finished translating the entire work of almost 40,000 lines. So he went home and worked. In 1591 he produced a loose English adaptation of Orlando Furioso. It's still the best known translation today. That time in the penalty box hadn't cured him. Five years later he was in hot water again.
This time he'd written another book, titled A New Discourse of a Stale Subject, Called the Metamorphosis of Ajax. It turns out that the word jakes was Elizabethan slang for a privy. Ajax was code for "a jakes." Harington had done a discourse on the design of toilets -- and on obscenity.
The book is loaded with double meaning and literary allusion. On one level, it asks us to recognize true obscenity. Harington's biographer, D.H. Craig, sums up Harington's moral: ... the truly dangerous sinners are those who deny the animal side of humanity and disguise it with finery.
On another level, Harington transcended his own literary gaming to describe the mechanical design of the first flush toilets -- devices he'd actually installed in fancy country houses. Indeed, he'd even equipped the Queen herself with one.
