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