@@vadimgalimov2576 in this case, 'original' means the source text for the English translation. I don't know which of the versions, the Russian or the Ukrainian one, was used, but it doesn't actually make any difference since both are clearly built around similar devices, internal rhymes the most expressive of them. If you were going to argue with that, you better stop or you'll look stupid.
