      - IF you can keep your head when all about you
      - Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
      - If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
      - But make allowance for their doubting too;
      - If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
      - Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
      - Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
      - "And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:"

    - section:

      - If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
      - If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
      - If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
      - And treat those two impostors just the same;
      - If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
      - Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
      - Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
      - "And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:"

      - If you can make one heap of all your winnings
      - And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
      - And lose, and start again at your beginnings
      - And never breathe a word about your loss;
      - If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
      - To serve your turn long after they are gone,
      - And so hold on when there is nothing in you
      - "Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'"

      - "If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,"
      - "' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,"
      - "if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,"
      - "If all men count with you, but none too much;"
      - "If you can fill the unforgiving minute"
      - "With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,"
      - "Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,"
      - "And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"
