What are the full 16 lines of William Henley's poem 'Invictus'?

Orangruffy

Invictus By William Ernest Henley 1849-1903 Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbow'd. 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. http://www.daypoems.net/poems/790.html May 27 03, 6:37 AM
