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

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

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

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

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

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

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