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!"
