Kai hea he ara rerenga mai mou, e te poi 

 Kai Kawhia, kai Marokopa, kai te akau 

 Kai te tipuranga mai o te poi— e ha ! 

 Kinitia i te tou o te tamariki 

 Whainga whekiki ki au 

 E poi— e ! 



A Rangi Poi. 



Poi inarungarunga iho, mararoraro ake 

 Tupotupou ana ka eke kaipuke hamua 

 Kei whea he ara rerenga mai mou, e te poi," &c. (see ante). 



A Rangi Poi (composed by Ruinga-rangi). 



Poia atu taku poi, wania atu taku poi 



Nga pikitanga ki Otairi 



Papatairite mai ki Patea 



Ka tirotiro ki te One-tapu, taiawhio tonu ki Taupo 



Ko Te Rohu, ko Te Berehau 



E whae ma ! Kia tika mai te whakaaro ki konei 



Mo aku haere ruahine ki kona 



He nui tonu mai, he iti taku iti 



Ehara i muri nei no tua whakarere 



No aku kaumatua i whaia ki Heretaunga 



Ko Puoro-rangi, ko Tarapuhi ki rawe ra 



Maua taku tara ki te hapai awe 



Ki nga whenua tapapa ana i te hiwi ki Horohoro 



Ka matau tonu au ki Tarawera, ko Te Hemahema 



Ka rere titaha te rere a taku poi 



E oma ana i te tai pouri ki Rotorua 



Ko Pare-hokotoru, ko Te Apoapo, ko Ngatoro 



Kai hea te rae ka hapainga mai, 



Kai Tauranga (a) Tupaea 



Ko te mea ra e wawatatia e maua ko taku poi 



Tiherutia i te wai ki Hauraki, ko Hapai, ko Taraia 



Tu tonu mai taua-iti kai Mahurangi 



Ko Te Ao-hau, ko Tiaho 



Ka taupatupatu te rere a taku poi 



Nga ia tuku ki Wai-kato 



Ko Potatau, ko Te Paea, ko Matutaera 



E taoro nei i te nuku o te whenua 



Hai mana mo Aotea-roa, potaea. 



TlTI-TOUBETUA. 



Here is another game of the ivhare tapere of old. The 

 titi-touretua is played by six or raore persons, who sit in a 

 circle a little distance apart from each other. Four sticks, 

 some 2 ft. or 2^- ft. in length, are used. These are sometimes 

 quaintly carved. Four of the players have each a stick, held 

 vertically before him in the right hand. In time to the 

 accompanying song they swing these sticks up and down, 

 and, at a certain word in the song, the sticks are thrown to 

 others across the circle and dexterously caught. The sticks 

 are thrown simultaneously, and must not be allowed to strike 

 each other in their flight. Every movement is performed at 

 the proper time, which is given by the song sung by the
