#2: Initial revision
The best translations I've seen (Dante's _Commedia_, _Beowulf_) have the original and the translation together. That way you can read what the sense of the text is, but if you want, you have the original for check (or so you can translate it yourself if you can). If the quoted verse improves yours, by all means include it.
