These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling,
And took their wages, and are dead.

Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.

A.E. Housman
Это в тот день, когда падали небеса,
Час, когда основания земли ушли,
Последовал за их наемническим призванием,
И взяли с них зарплату, и умерли.
 
Их плечи держали небо подвешенным;
Они стояли, и основания земли остались;
От чего Бог отказался, отстояли эти,
И сохранил сумму вещей для оплаты.
 
А. Е. Хаусман
