Hymn of Breaking Strain \"Rudyard Kipling\"

English to Spanish Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Poem
I have a fragment of the poem of Rudyard Kipling to translate into Spanish , the name of the poem is "Hymn of Breaking Strain"

THE careful text-books measure
(Let all who build beware!)
The load, the shock, the pressure
Material can bear.
So, when the buckled girder
lets down the grinding span,
‘The blame of loss, or murder,
is laid upon the man.
Not on the Stuff – the Man!

Please if somebody know where I can get the translation.

Many thanks in advance

MINUCIOSOS manuales dejan claro,
en beneficio de quienes construyen,
la carga, la presión, las sacudidas
que pueden resistir los materiales.
Cuando la viga derrengada cede
y la arcada se desmorona,
la culpa de la pérdida o la muerte
recae sobre el hombre:
sobre el hombre, no sobre el material.
