„Invictus” de William Ernest Henley

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.	Din bezna fără de hotar Ce mă-mpresoară pe pământ, Eu, căror zei or fi, dau har Pentru-al meu cuget neînfrânt.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.	În cruntă gheara-mprejurării Nici n-am icnit, nici n-am ţipat. Sub bâtele-ntâmplării, capul Îmi sângeră, dar neplecat.
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.	Prin ciudă, lacrimi, suferinţă Mijeşte Groaza umbrelor, Ci anii ce mă ameninţă Mă află tot netemător.
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.	Cu fapte bune şi mai rele Răbojul mi-e crestat mereu, Dar sunt stăpânul sorţii mele: Cârmaciul sufletului meu.
