:-* ;-) :-) :-D 8-) :-P O:-) :-D :-D :-P :-* :-[ =-O :-[ :-[ :-! :-X ;-) :-D

Words can have so much power...to reveal...to conceal....

Attributed to poet John Harrington who may have snitched it from Ovid, BTW.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harington
This was considered a distinctly risky joke to make at the time.

*Sir John Harington* (August 4 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_4>, 1561 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1561> – November 20 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_20>, 1612 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1612>) was a courtier and author. He became a prominent member of Queen Elizabeth I <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_I_of_England>'s court, and was known as her 'saucy Godson'. But because of his poetry and other writings, he fell in and ultimately out of favor with the Queen, as well as with her successor, King James I of England <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_I_of_England>. He is well known today as the inventor of a fore-runner of the modern flush toilet <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flush_toilet>, described in his famous work /The Metamorphosis of Ajax/ which had enjoyed considerable popularity on its publication in 1596.

Fascinating to take a look at some of the websites using the quotation....

Treason doth never prosper.
What’s the reason?
Why, if it prosper,
none dare call it treason.
