1t is better to lose with a conscience
clean
Than to win with trick unfair;
It is better to fail and to know you've
Whatever the prize was-square,
Than to claim the joy of far-off goal
And the cheers of the standers-by,
And to know down deep in your inmost
soul,
A cheat you must live and die.
Who wins by trick may take the prize,
And at first he may think it sweet
But many a day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat;
For the man who lost shall be glad at
heart
And walk with his head up high,
While his conqueror knows he must
play the part
Of a cheat and living lie.
The prize seems fair when the fight
is on,
But save it is truly won
You will hate the thing when the
crowds are gone,
For if stands for false deed done;
And it's better you never reach your

Than ever success to buy
At the price of knowing down deep in
your soul
That your glory is all lie.
