Authors:
  • True modesty is a discerning grace
    And only blushes in the proper place;
    But counterfeit is blind, and skulks through fear,
    Where 'tis a shame to be asham'd t' appear:
    Humility the parent of the first,
    The last by vanity produc'd and nurs'd.

    William Cowper (1852). “Poems”, p.125
