From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) [devils]:

  EGOTIST, n.  A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in
  me.
  
      Megaceph, chosen to serve the State
      In the halls of legislative debate,
      One day with all his credentials came
      To the capitol's door and announced his name.
      The doorkeeper looked, with a comical twist
      Of the face, at the eminent egotist,
      And said:  "Go away, for we settle here
      All manner of questions, knotty and queer,
      And we cannot have, when the speaker demands
      To be told how every member stands,
      A man who to all things under the sky
      Assents by eternally voting 'I'."
