Context: It 's well worth the effort however , as ' Pan Tadeusz ' is a richly rewarding read . The translation I read was by Kenneth R. Mackenie , which was the first to maintain the metre and rhyming couplets of the original throughout its 10,000 lines . Obviously there must have been some compromises made to achieve that , and there is the occasional rhyme that grated , but overall the poem reads as if it was written in English . Without wanting to give the ending away , it is the various characters love of their country and determination to liberate themselves from Russian rule that overrides all other thoughts .
