setting ascii for irc

i want to add ascii in my popuplist in irc
but when i show it the image sits to the left of the screen.

-> ** ___ ,
-> ** .-'` `'-.___|\__
-> ** _.--''` `)__ )__ @\__
-> ** ( ,, ''---/___,,E_/__,E'------`
-> ** `-''`''

when it should look like this

                     ___       ,
                ..-'`   `'-.___|\__
         _.--''`    `)__    )__   @\__
        ( ,, ''---/___,,E_/__,E'------`
         `-''`''

does any one know how to add spaces from the left to the ascii with out
these spaces showing up in irc.

this is the popup for it

  msg # 6 $+ $1 $+ , He is here to protect you...
  msg # 16                     ___       ,
