[4] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)
immodest, adj.  having a strong sense of one's own merit, coupled with
a feeble conception of worth in others.

    there was once a man in ispahan
        ever and ever so long ago,
    and he had a head, the phrenologists said,
        that fitted him for a show.

    for his modesty's bump was so large a lump
        nature, they said, had taken a freak
    that its summit stood far above the wood
        of his hair, like a mountain peak.

    so modest a man in all ispahan,
        over and over again they swore --
    so humble and meek, you would vainly seek;
        none ever was found before.

    meantime the hump of that awful bump
        into the heavens contrived to get
    to so great a height that they called the wight
        the man with the minaret.

    there wasn't a man in all ispahan
        prouder, or louder in praise of his chump:
    with a tireless tongue and a brazen lung
        he bragged of that beautiful bump

    till the shah in a rage sent a trusty page
        bearing a sack and a bow-string too,
    and that gentle child explained as he smiled:
        "a little present for you."

    the saddest man in all ispahan,
        sniffed at the gift, yet accepted the same.
    "if i'd lived," said he, "my humility
        had given me deathless fame"
