He was a wight of high renowne,
And those but of a low degree;
Itt 's pride that putts the countrye doune,
Then take thine old cloake about thee.
-- Thomas Percy (1728-1811)
-- Take thy old Cloak about Thee

The 9th Commandment for C Programmers (Annotated Henry Spencer)
states thus:
IX Thy external identifiers shall be unique in the first
six characters, though this harsh discipline be irksome
and the years of its necessity stretch before thee
seemingly without end, lest thou tear thy hair out and
go mad on that fateful day when thou desirest to make
thy program run on an old system....
