He nui kame maoa e tu ana 



I o atua roa 



He tini te kame, he mano te kame 



He tutae taua 



Ka kame tiko iho ki waenga 



He aha aku kai tee pau noa ai 



Naku te tohtnga ki te whitu, ki te waru 



Ki te roa o te tau. 



Waiho nei matau hai timokomoko kai 



Ma te ngahuru 



Tangi ana te whakatopatopa o kame,

He toroa ! he taiko ! — e. 



Whiti Tuarua (Second Part). 



Ara e hau mate kino o te whakaangiangi 



Nohoanga roa i te taha o te kame 



Na ka pa tahau, he iti mai ano na Mouhanga 



Koia ra ia e tohea ake nei ko te takahanga 



Kia ata kitea iho e roa te tau 



Naku i whakanui, naku i whakakake 



Kia kake mai ki runga ra 



Kakekake mai i o manu 



Ki tetahi taha o te wairangi 



Tu te rupe, rau te kawa 



Ko te kawa i herea 



Ko te kawa i a matua nei 



Koukou ruru — e mata taitaia 



Ka tukia te papa i raro nei 



Ko ou tahi taua o mua iho ra hoki 



Houhanga rongo, maunga rongo noa ki konei 



Houhia kautia ki te kakaritanga 



te uri o Tiki. 



He aha te kame ma kuku, ma kaka 



Ma koroiriawa 



Ma kau hoehoe mai tarawahi awa 



Nana te toki i kotia ai te pane o nga poaka 



Ehara i te peka i whawhe mai ano 



Tauwhitu kia matau nei 



Tirohia atu he takahanga ma tai rau 



E tikoki ana, e mau ana kiki war* 



Ka mahue pinara

 Tohu tonu o matau mate 



Na Tiki, na Ponga, koi homai 

 Ripaia mai ra o tekateka ki konei 

 I hea i raru ai au na— i. 



Such were the feasts given, sometimes on account of war, 

 or of a peacemaking, or in order to discuss some other import- 

 ant matter. The people to whom the feast was given will 

 endeavour to give a return feast, and will work hard to grow 

 or provide food for the same. The term paremata was ap- 

 plied either to this return feast or to a present, as food, 

 taken by guests and given to the givers of the feast. In the 

 modern Hauhau religion of these natives the term paremata is 

 applied to the money subscription collected for feasts at the 

 performing of the huamata and other rites.
