It is not easy to be good
At all times as one really should.
Temptations lie on every hand
That only saints can well withstand.
E'en though to virtue one's inclined
Old Satan will not stay behind.

One thing, however, is quite sure —
In one Commandment I'm secure
Since Daphne came to live next door
I find it difficult no more —
Stop laughing, Cupid! Naughty Elf! —
To love my neighbor as myself!
