This is the whole poem.... so I guess you'll find the answer here...
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
5
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
10
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:
15
I am the captain of my soul.

The origin of the term invictus is Latin. It originated in Roman times during the transition between the winter to summer solstice. (elongating days) It means unconquered, unconquerable, undefeated.
Invictus, a poem by William Ernest Henley, read by Morgan Freeman"
Invictus is the Latin word for "unconquered." It is also the title of a nineteenth-century 'Invictus 1' written by William Henley. Henley wrote the poem as he lay in a hospital bed, recovering from the amputation of his leg after a long battle with tuberculosis of the bone. During Nelson Mandela 27-year captivity as a political prisoner, he kept a copy of the inspirational poem on the wall of his cell. Mandela was released from prison on this date in 1990.
If your referring to the poet who wrote "Invictus" his name is William Ernest Henley
the meaning of the poem gifts the meaning of the poem gifts
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...
