| translated by Sven Collberg | translated by Max Knight | translated by Alexander Gross | ||
| En varulv lopp från fru m.m. | One night, a banshee slunk away | A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | ||
| en vacker afton samt begav | from mate and child, and in the gloom | Left wife and brood one night and came | ||
| sig till en bymagisters grav | went to a village teacher’s tomb, | To a hidden graveyard to enlist | ||
| och bad: “Var snäll och konjugera. | requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.” | The aid of a long-dead philologist. | ||
| mig!” Byskolläraren stod upp | The village teacher climbed up straight | “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | ||
| på blecknamnsskyltens mässingknopp | upon his grave stone with its plate | He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | ||
| med svar till den, som satt på pass | and to the apparition said | The seer arose a bit unsteady | ||
| med tåligt korslagd tass på tass. | who meekly knelt before the dead: | Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | ||
| “Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing., | “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place; | “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | ||
| du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så | the banHERS, the possessive case. | While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | ||
| vi voro-ulv, I voren. På | The banHER, next, is what they call | There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | ||
| de voro-ulv kom ingenting.” | objective case--and that is all.” | And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | ||
| Varulven myste glad åt hur | The banshee marveled at the cases | “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | ||
| pers. hade följts av sing. och plur. | and writhed with pleasure, making faces, | The future form and participle | ||
| “Fast”, bad han, “kan det inte ges ens | but said: “You did not add, so far, | Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | ||
| en enda pers. i tempus presens?” | the plural to the singular!” | The scholar paused--again he tried: | ||
| Bekänna måste vår magister, | The teacher, though, admitted then | “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | ||
| att därvidlag fanns vissa brister. | that this was not within his ken. | ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | ||
| En varulv sine imperfecto | “While bans are frequent”, he advised, | Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | ||
| var contradictio in adjecto. | “A she cannot be plurized.” | I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | ||
| Varulven satt med tårad lins. | The banshee, rising clammily, | The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | ||
| Han visste att han fanns och finns. | wailed: “What about my family?” | At home, and homewards now he crept, | ||
| Därtill kom också fru m.m. | Then, being not a learned creature, | Happy, humble, without apology | ||
| som även måste existera. | said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher. | For such folly of philology. | ||
