En varulv lopp från fru m.m.   A Werewolf, troubled by his name,   Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,   One night, a banshee slunk away
en vacker afton samt begav   Left wife and brood one night and came   Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit   from mate and child, and in the gloom
sig till en bymagisters grav   To a hidden graveyard to enlist   Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école   went to a village teacher’s tomb,
och bad: “Var snäll och konjugera.   The aid of a long-dead philologist.   Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”   requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”
 
mig!” Byskolläraren stod upp   “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”   Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,   The village teacher climbed up straight
på blecknamnsskyltens mässingknopp   He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”   Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit   upon his grave stone with its plate
med svar till den, som satt på pass   The seer arose a bit unsteady   Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école   and to the apparition said
med tåligt korslagd tass på tass.   Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.   Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”   who meekly knelt before the dead:
 
“Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing.,   “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,   “ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes   “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;
du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så   While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:   Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.   the banHERS, the possessive case.
vi voro-ulv, I voren. På   There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,   Loup-garoù ? mais avant   The banHER, next, is what they call
de voro-ulv kom ingenting.”   And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”   Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?   objective case--and that is all.”
 
Varulven myste glad åt hur   “I know that--I’m no mental cripple--   Loup-garcomment ? et puis   The banshee marveled at the cases
pers. hade följts av sing. och plur.   The future form and participle   Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”   and writhed with pleasure, making faces,
“Fast”, bad han, “kan det inte ges ens   Are what I crave,” the beast replied.   Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,   but said: “You did not add, so far,
en enda pers. i tempus presens?”   The scholar paused--again he tried:   Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.   the plural to the singular!”
 
Bekänna måste vår magister,   “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:   “ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,   The teacher, though, admitted then
att därvidlag fanns vissa brister.   ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!   Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”   that this was not within his ken.
En varulv sine imperfecto   Such words are wounds beyond all suture--   A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.   “While bans are frequent”, he advised,
var contradictio in adjecto.   I’m sorry, but you have no future.”   “ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié   “A she cannot be plurized.”
 
Varulven satt med tårad lins.   The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept   Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.   The banshee, rising clammily,
Han visste att han fanns och finns.   At home, and homewards now he crept,   Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”   wailed: “What about my family?”
Därtill kom också fru m.m.   Happy, humble, without apology   Mais comme le loup était bien poli   Then, being not a learned creature,
som även måste existera.   For such folly of philology.   Il remercia et puis repartit.   said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.
