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

One night, a banshee slunk away	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,	A Werewolf, troubled by his name,	En varulv lopp från fru m.m.
from mate and child, and in the gloom	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit	Left wife and brood one night and came	en vacker afton samt begav
went to a village teacher’s tomb,	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école	To a hidden graveyard to enlist	sig till en bymagisters grav
requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”	The aid of a long-dead philologist.	och bad: “Var snäll och konjugera.

The village teacher climbed up straight	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,	“Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”	mig!” Byskolläraren stod upp
upon his grave stone with its plate	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit	He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”	på blecknamnsskyltens mässingknopp
and to the apparition said	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école	The seer arose a bit unsteady	med svar till den, som satt på pass
who meekly knelt before the dead:	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”	Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.	med tåligt korslagd tass på tass.

“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;	“ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes	“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,	“Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing.,
the banHERS, the possessive case.	Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.	While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:	du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så
The banHER, next, is what they call	Loup-garoù ? mais avant	There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,	vi voro-ulv, I voren. På
objective case--and that is all.”	Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?	And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”	de voro-ulv kom ingenting.”

The banshee marveled at the cases	Loup-garcomment ? et puis	“I know that--I’m no mental cripple--	Varulven myste glad åt hur
and writhed with pleasure, making faces,	Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”	The future form and participle	pers. hade följts av sing. och plur.
but said: “You did not add, so far,	Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,	Are what I crave,” the beast replied.	“Fast”, bad han, “kan det inte ges ens
the plural to the singular!”	Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.	The scholar paused--again he tried:	en enda pers. i tempus presens?”

The teacher, though, admitted then	“ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,	“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:	Bekänna måste vår magister,
that this was not within his ken.	Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”	‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!	att därvidlag fanns vissa brister.
“While bans are frequent”, he advised,	A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.	Such words are wounds beyond all suture--	En varulv sine imperfecto
“A she cannot be plurized.”	“ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié	I’m sorry, but you have no future.”	var contradictio in adjecto.

The banshee, rising clammily,	Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.	The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept	Varulven satt med tårad lins.
wailed: “What about my family?”	Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”	At home, and homewards now he crept,	Han visste att han fanns och finns.
Then, being not a learned creature,	Mais comme le loup était bien poli	Happy, humble, without apology	Därtill kom också fru m.m.
said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.	Il remercia et puis repartit.	For such folly of philology.	som även måste existera.
