Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich   Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,   En varulv lopp från fru m.m.   A Werewolf, troubled by his name,   One night, a banshee slunk away
von Weib und Kind und sich begab   Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit   en vacker afton samt begav   Left wife and brood one night and came   from mate and child, and in the gloom
an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab   Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école   sig till en bymagisters grav   To a hidden graveyard to enlist   went to a village teacher’s tomb,
und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“   Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”   och bad: “Var snäll och konjugera.   The aid of a long-dead philologist.   requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”
 
Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf   Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,   mig!” Byskolläraren stod upp   “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”   The village teacher climbed up straight
auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf   Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit   på blecknamnsskyltens mässingknopp   He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”   upon his grave stone with its plate
und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten   Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école   med svar till den, som satt på pass   The seer arose a bit unsteady   and to the apparition said
geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:   Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”   med tåligt korslagd tass på tass.   Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.   who meekly knelt before the dead:
 
„Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann,   “ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes   “Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing.,   “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,   “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;
„des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann,   Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.   du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så   While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:   the banHERS, the possessive case.
dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt,   Loup-garoù ? mais avant   vi voro-ulv, I voren. På   There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,   The banHER, next, is what they call
den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“   Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?   de voro-ulv kom ingenting.”   And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”   objective case--and that is all.”
 
Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle   Loup-garcomment ? et puis   Varulven myste glad åt hur   “I know that--I’m no mental cripple--   The banshee marveled at the cases
er rollte seine Augenbälle.   Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”   pers. hade följts av sing. och plur.   The future form and participle   and writhed with pleasure, making faces,
„Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch   Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,   “Fast”, bad han, “kan det inte ges ens   Are what I crave,” the beast replied.   but said: “You did not add, so far,
zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“   Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.   en enda pers. i tempus presens?”   The scholar paused--again he tried:   the plural to the singular!”
 
Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste   “ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,   Bekänna måste vår magister,   “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:   The teacher, though, admitted then
gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste.   Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”   att därvidlag fanns vissa brister.   ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!   that this was not within his ken.
Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar,   A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.   En varulv sine imperfecto   Such words are wounds beyond all suture--   “While bans are frequent”, he advised,
doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular.   “ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié   var contradictio in adjecto.   I’m sorry, but you have no future.”   “A she cannot be plurized.”
 
Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind –   Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.   Varulven satt med tårad lins.   The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept   The banshee, rising clammily,
er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!   Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”   Han visste att han fanns och finns.   At home, and homewards now he crept,   wailed: “What about my family?”
Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben,   Mais comme le loup était bien poli   Därtill kom också fru m.m.   Happy, humble, without apology   Then, being not a learned creature,
so schied er dankend und ergeben.   Il remercia et puis repartit.   som även måste existera.   For such folly of philology.   said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.
