Why can't I put a box around verbatim text in a figure?

\documentstyle[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
  \begin{tabular}{|c|}
    \hline
%    \begin{verbatim} %!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
       hello world
%    \end{verbatim}   %!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    \\
    \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{hello world}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}

I have a lot more text than just hello world to put in my figure...
