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