1. O you who deny the destruction of fortresses when they are supported
By the pillars of foundation and cheers,

2. Show us the builders - did they last or perish
By the blow of mighty precedence, highest prestige?

3. For they are where you see the ground, and if they ascended
With them the ascent to the horizon of the steep place,

4. Each lent the earth the face of a crusher,
A free man who humiliates the delicate ancient one,

5. And saw decay a ghost - if you called it
The bearing of plateaus, it would come with a carrier,

6. And a chest so broad that if you judged it
To contain the countries, it would not avoid you for narrowness,

7. And the structure of the Creator - if it collapses, then do not
Be surprised at the collapse of the structure of the created.
