Translations are bad. Especially translations of poetry. Because they need to keep rhyme, they completely change emphasis in phrases.

My point entirely. English is pretty bad for writing poetry as there is no inflection and word order is completely fixed. I've always thought Milton should've written Paradise Lost in Latin...

No shit the translations are going to be bad when you translate from a shitty language to the language of God himself.
They should have wrote the original in English

It could help convince people that non-morons in America really do exist after all. With a little luck, even that not all of those are foreigners.

It's not completely fixed, is it? At least, you can risk changing it around a bit and people are still likely to understand, although it could look a bit strange.
