Thou art my all powerful god 



From my ancestors. 



Say, Kulanihehu, arise ! 



Let us journey to Kauai. 



This god is afraid,^* 



My god who is without jx^wer 



From my ancestors. 



Kawelo tlien took tip his war club, Kuikaa, and chanted as follows: 



There, you are made unconscious by Kuikaa, 



By Hookaa, by Kaakua, by Kaaalo. 



You will surely see the avenging club of Malailua, 



The club that wjll break your jaws, 



For then the avenging club will cease its work. 



Tomorrow you shall see 



The rooster that is fed of the sun, 



Till the crop fills with dirt 



And the feathers fall off 



Like a rooster that is hung up in the smoke 



With its feathers burnt ofif. 



The conquering cock has made but one kick. 



They are scattered, they are scattered. 



At the close of this chant by Kawelo, that evening they set out from Waianae. 

 As they reached a point in the channel of Kaieiewaho, between Kauai and Waianae, 

 Kawelo's love for Kou, the wife whom he left at Waikiki, began to well up within 

 him, so he chanted as follows : 



Farewell to thee, Kou ; farewell, Kou. 



The love of Kou is within me, 



My companion of the windy days 



And the cold of Ahulu. 



The coconut trees at Pai are calling me back ; 



They appear as raging fire to my eyes. 



Like the volcanic rocks at Kuamanuunuu. 



I am tempted to get them, to string them and to wear them. 



The akulikuli blossoms there at Huia, 



For they are calling me back there. 



At the close of this chant Kamalama answered : "You know that you love your 

 wife; why didn't you remain? I could have made the trip against Aikanaka by 

 myself." By these words of Kamalama, Kawelo thought that Kamalama must be 

 angry with him, so he chanted these words : "How could I tell that it was going 

 to hurt your feelings?" 



On this trip to Kauai, Keolewa'^ was seen above the clouds by Kawelo before 

 the others, so he chanted: 



"Tills chant takes a taunting form for tlic failure to "'KcoIck'o, the morning star, 



respond to his petition as the other god had done.
