	translated by Max Knight	translated by R. Platteau	translated by Alexander Gross

Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich	One night, a banshee slunk away	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,	A Werewolf, troubled by his name,
von Weib und Kind und sich begab	from mate and child, and in the gloom	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit	Left wife and brood one night and came
an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab	went to a village teacher’s tomb,	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école	To a hidden graveyard to enlist
und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“	requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”	The aid of a long-dead philologist.

Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf	The village teacher climbed up straight	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,	“Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”
auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf	upon his grave stone with its plate	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit	He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”
und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten	and to the apparition said	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école	The seer arose a bit unsteady
geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:	who meekly knelt before the dead:	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”	Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.

„Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann,	“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;	“ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes	“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,
„des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann,	the banHERS, the possessive case.	Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.	While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:
dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt,	The banHER, next, is what they call	Loup-garoù ? mais avant	There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,
den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“	objective case--and that is all.”	Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?	And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”

Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle	The banshee marveled at the cases	Loup-garcomment ? et puis	“I know that--I’m no mental cripple--
er rollte seine Augenbälle.	and writhed with pleasure, making faces,	Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”	The future form and participle
„Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch	but said: “You did not add, so far,	Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,	Are what I crave,” the beast replied.
zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“	the plural to the singular!”	Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.	The scholar paused--again he tried:

Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste	The teacher, though, admitted then	“ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,	“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:
gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste.	that this was not within his ken.	Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”	‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!
Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar,	“While bans are frequent”, he advised,	A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.	Such words are wounds beyond all suture--
doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular.	“A she cannot be plurized.”	“ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié	I’m sorry, but you have no future.”

Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind –	The banshee, rising clammily,	Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.	The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept
er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!	wailed: “What about my family?”	Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”	At home, and homewards now he crept,
Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben,	Then, being not a learned creature,	Mais comme le loup était bien poli	Happy, humble, without apology
so schied er dankend und ergeben.	said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.	Il remercia et puis repartit.	For such folly of philology.
