Black as the Pit from pole to pole | B |
I thank whatever gods may be | A |
For my unconquerable soul | B |

In the fell clutch of circumstance | C |
I have not winced nor cried aloud | D |
Under the bludgeonings of chance | C |
My head is bloody but unbowed | E |

How charged with punishments the scroll | B |
