With the exception of a few words I've never seen before (or heard pronounced) I was able to read the whole thing aloud.

Score.

You're right, I was unsuccessful. Not because of unfamiliar pronunciations, but because it's too damned *long*.

Whoops. Not meant as reply to you, sorry!

[mylostmarbles]

No worries :)

I have seen this poem before and I love it. I should memorize it for the next time I audition for something. :)

There was (though I fail to find it) an iteration, on the web, of The Chaos with side-by-side British (some standard) and American (some standard) phonetic expressions.
