念音

R17  A noun there is of plural number,

                 Foe to peace and tranquil slumber;

                 Now any other noun you take,

                 By adding s you plural make,

                 But if you add an s to this,

                 Strange is the metamorphosis:

                 Plural is plural now no more,

                 And sweet what bitter was before.

〔译注〕 有个名词的复数形,

                  敌对平静和安祥的睡眠;

                  这时你拿任何其它名词,

                  加上 s 你就制造出复数,

                  可是如果你加个 s 到这个,

                  怪的是这个的变形:

                  复数的现在已经不再是复数,

                  而以前是苦的现在是甜的。

〔提问〕 If the word has five letters and rhymes (押韵) with nightmares (恶梦), what is it?

〔谜底〕  c____
