Inspired by George Gibson's Print a Tabula Recta.
You are to print/output this exact text:

(Yes, I typed that by hand)
You are allowed to use all lowercase instead of all uppercase.
However, your choice of case must be consistent throughout the whole text.
Rules/Requirements
- Each submission should be either a full program or function. If it is a function, it must be runnable by only needing to add the function call to the bottom of the program. Anything else (e.g. headers in C), must be included.
- If it is possible, provide a link to a site where your program can be tested.
- Your program must not write anything to
STDERR. - Standard Loopholes are forbidden.
- Your program can output in any case, but it must be printed (not an array or similar).
Scoring
Programs are scored according to bytes, in UTF-8 by default or a different character set of your choice.
Eventually, the answer with the least bytes will win.
Submissions
To make sure that your answer shows up, please start your answer with a headline, using the following Markdown template:
# Language Name, N bytes
where N is the size of your submission. If you improve your score, you can keep old scores in the headline, by striking them through. For instance:
# Ruby, <s>104</s> <s>101</s> 96 bytes
If there you want to include multiple numbers in your header (e.g. because your score is the sum of two files or you want to list interpreter flag penalties separately), make sure that the actual score is the last number in the header:
# Perl, 43 + 2 (-p flag) = 45 bytes
You can also make the language name a link which will then show up in the leaderboard snippet:
# [><>](http://esolangs.org/wiki/Fish), 121 bytes
Leaderboard
Here is a Stack Snippet to generate both a regular leaderboard and an overview of winners by language.

5Can the output (as the return value from a function) be an array of lines? – Doorknob – 2016-07-31T14:55:49.413
@Doorknob I would say no. – Leaky Nun – 2016-07-31T14:56:39.677
@GeorgeGibson Yes. – Leaky Nun – 2016-07-31T17:36:15.897
@LeakyNun Is a trailing newline allowed? – Jakube – 2016-08-01T10:58:13.233
@Jakube On the condition that the interpreter does not produce another trailing newline. – Leaky Nun – 2016-08-01T10:58:52.230
