Show WHEN VIRTUE TRIUMPHED There was a man who tried to do The very best he could He held that being rich was not As fair as being Rood Sly tempters tried to pull him down Their schemes were all in vain He would not turn from righteous ways For power or for gain Full many a snare was laid for him By men of evil minds Ho passed unsmlrched through troubled scenes Of many various kinds Where others would have faltered ho Still held to honors course Unhindered by chicanery Unterrifled by force He was a good man through and through A better never was He always scorned unlawful means No matter what the cause With honor as his watchword ho Pursued his righteous way And won out at the end but ah This man was in the play |
