Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries
These, in the day when heaven was falling, Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled, They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling, What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead. And saved the sum of things for pay.
A.E. Housman
