IT is BETTER

y
1t is better to lose with conscience
clean
Than win by a trick unfair;
It's better to fall and to know you've
been.
Whatever the prize was, square,
Than to claim the JOY Of a far-off
goal
And the cheer of the standers-by,
And to know down deep in your in
most soul
A cheat YOU must live or die.
Who wins by trick may take the
prize,
And at first he may think It sweet,
But many day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat.
For the one who lost shall Be glad az
heart
And walk with his head up high,
While his eonqueror knows he must
play the part
Or cheat and living lie.
The prize seems fair when the figh.
is on,
But save it IS truly won
You will hate the thing, when the
crowds are gone,
For it stands for false deed done
And it's better you never should
reach your goal
Than ever success to buy
At the price of knowing down in
your soul
That your glory is all lie.
