translated by Alexander Gross	translated by R. Platteau	translated by Max Knight	translated by Bertilo Wennergren

A Werewolf, troubled by his name,	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,	One night, a banshee slunk away	Jen lupfantom’ de famili’
Left wife and brood one night and came	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit	from mate and child, and in the gloom	meznokte iam kuris for
To a hidden graveyard to enlist	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école	went to a village teacher’s tomb,	al tombo de la profesor’.
The aid of a long-dead philologist.	Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”	requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”	kaj petis pri konjugaci’.

“Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”	Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,	The village teacher climbed up straight	Do diktis tiu dokta ul’
He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”	Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit	upon his grave stone with its plate	starante sur la kructabul’
The seer arose a bit unsteady	Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école	and to the apparition said	dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto
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:	atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto.

“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,	“ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes	“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;	De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta,
While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:	Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.	the banHERS, the possessive case.	tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta,
There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,	Loup-garoù ? mais avant	The banHER, next, is what they call	plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara,
And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”	Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?	objective case--and that is all.”	ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara.

“I know that--I’m no mental cripple--	Loup-garcomment ? et puis	The banshee marveled at the cases	Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe
The future form and participle	Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”	and writhed with pleasure, making faces,	al la fantomo, kaj rezulte
Are what I crave,” the beast replied.	Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,	but said: “You did not add, so far,	ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o
The scholar paused--again he tried:	Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.	the plural to the singular!”	pri participoj en pasivo.”

“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:	“ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,	The teacher, though, admitted then	La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen:
‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!	Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”	that this was not within his ken.	“Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen,
Such words are wounds beyond all suture--	A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.	“While bans are frequent”, he advised,	ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas
I’m sorry, but you have no future.”	“ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié	“A she cannot be plurized.”	kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.”

The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept	Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.	The banshee, rising clammily,	Sed lupfantomo pri transiro
At home, and homewards now he crept,	Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”	wailed: “What about my family?”	ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro.
Happy, humble, without apology	Mais comme le loup était bien poli	Then, being not a learned creature,	La lup’ revenis larmokula
For such folly of philology.	Il remercia et puis repartit.	said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.	al sia famili’ ulula.
