- [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"
