| Jen lupfantom’ de famili’ | A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | |
| meznokte iam kuris for | Left wife and brood one night and came | |
| al tombo de la profesor’. | To a hidden graveyard to enlist | |
| kaj petis pri konjugaci’. | The aid of a long-dead philologist. | |
| Do diktis tiu dokta ul’ | “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | |
| starante sur la kructabul’ | He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | |
| dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto | The seer arose a bit unsteady | |
| atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto. | Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | |
| De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta, | “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | |
| tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta, | While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | |
| plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara, | There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | |
| ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara. | And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | |
| Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe | “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | |
| al la fantomo, kaj rezulte | The future form and participle | |
| ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o | Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | |
| pri participoj en pasivo.” | The scholar paused--again he tried: | |
| La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen: | “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | |
| “Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen, | ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | |
| ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas | Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | |
| kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.” | I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | |
| Sed lupfantomo pri transiro | The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | |
| ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro. | At home, and homewards now he crept, | |
| La lup’ revenis larmokula | Happy, humble, without apology | |
| al sia famili’ ulula. | For such folly of philology. | |
