| translated by Hans Eiseneck | translated by Max Knight | translated by Alexander Gross | ||
| Un hechicero, con esposa | One night, a banshee slunk away | A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | ||
| vino un día a la fosa | from mate and child, and in the gloom | Left wife and brood one night and came | ||
| de su maestro, y al profesor | went to a village teacher’s tomb, | To a hidden graveyard to enlist | ||
| pidió: “¿Me cuentas? ¡Por favor!” | requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.” | The aid of a long-dead philologist. | ||
| El profesor sin vacilar | The village teacher climbed up straight | “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | ||
| subió y comenzó a hablar. | upon his grave stone with its plate | He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | ||
| Desde allá de su letrero | and to the apparition said | The seer arose a bit unsteady | ||
| se dirigió al hechicero: | who meekly knelt before the dead: | Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | ||
| “El hechiuno” le explica, | “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place; | “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | ||
| “el hechidos” después indica, | the banHERS, the possessive case. | While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | ||
| “el hechitres” dice al fin, | The banHER, next, is what they call | There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | ||
| “con eso basta ¡chiquitín!” | objective case--and that is all.” | And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | ||
| El hechicero, conmovido | The banshee marveled at the cases | “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | ||
| por lo que capta su oído, | and writhed with pleasure, making faces, | The future form and participle | ||
| al maestro ruega, encantado, | but said: “You did not add, so far, | Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | ||
| que le adjunte un quebrado. | the plural to the singular!” | The scholar paused--again he tried: | ||
| Pero el profesor confiesa | The teacher, though, admitted then | “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | ||
| que nada sabe con certeza: | that this was not within his ken. | ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | ||
| “Hay muchos hechos. Hechiceros | “While bans are frequent”, he advised, | Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | ||
| únicamente hay enteros.” | “A she cannot be plurized.” | I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | ||
| El brujo se volvió muy triste: | The banshee, rising clammily, | The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | ||
| “Mi cara mitad, ¿no la viste?” | wailed: “What about my family?” | At home, and homewards now he crept, | ||
| Ya que no era sabio | Then, being not a learned creature, | Happy, humble, without apology | ||
| con gratitud se despidió. | said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher. | For such folly of philology. | ||
