What is the meter for 'Invictus' by William earnest hensley?

The meter of "Invictus" is a matter of some debate, because the poem's accent pattern is not consistent. In my opinion, Henley wrote the poem in loosely constructed iambic tetrameter.Thus, "Invictus" only generally consists of lines possessing four iambs (feet consisting of an unaccented syllable followed by an accented one.) These are not the bold, consistent iambs of Shakespeare or Byron. Indeed, the beautiful, inexorable cadence of "Invictus" is greatly diminished when the poem is read with strict adherence to the iambic pattern.Ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM:Out OF the NIGHT that CO-vers ME,Black AS the PIT from POLE to POLE...
