8 INVICTUS Out Of the Night That Covers Me Dark As The Pits From Pole To Pole I Thank Whatever Gods May Be, For My Unconquerable Soul. In The Fell Clutch Of Circumstance, I have not Winced Or Cried Aloud, Under The Bludgeoning Of Chance My Head Is Bloody But Unbowed. Beyond This Place Of Wrath And Tears Looms But The Horror Of The Shade, And Yet The Menace Of The Years Finds, And Shall Find, Me Unafraid It Matters Not How Strait The Gate How Charged With Punishments The Scroll I am The Master Of My Fate; I Am The Captain Of My Soul. William Earnest Henley
