Invictus IV
 
This is the fourth lion in a series of four inspired by the Invictus poem by William Ernest Henley. This lion represents the fourth stanza in the poem 
 
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.
