A Lamentation for Kalialiana.

185. We together know"^ well 



That the chief went at noon.'''" 

 He has perhaps followed'" his wife. 

 Kona is become feeble,"*- feeble is Wailuku. 

 That was the wife 

 190. Beloved'^^ by the chief that is dead. 

 The chief died'"'"' quietly, 

 He was covered'^^ with a coconut leaf; 

 He sleeps quietly:''^" 

 There is thy mother''*' for thy pleasure : for 



thy pleasure. 

 195. The chief has returned again'"'^ to the time 



of infancy when he was tossed in the 



arms. 

 The chief Kaumakoa, the king. 

 Changed his appearance and voice,''*" 

 He sat with feminine modesty'"" only, 

 A hermophrodite perhaps from Honoka- 



wailani."" 

 200. A chief possessor of land,'"" a chief by 



descent from kings,'"'' 

 A chief that sees with his own eyes,'"* . 



looked closely at the kapu. 

 The heavens are covered with fleecy,- filmy 



clouds,^"^ 



205. 



A distant sea,'"" a foamy sea is Kailua, 

 Fanned,'"'' cooled by the gentle breeze. 

 The hau'"" is the path, a narrow strip : 

 Go carefully'"" lest you fall dead in the sun. 

 The god that dwells"" on Kapolei hill. 

 The sun is wailing'"' on account of the 



women of Kamao, 

 A hiding god,"- blos.soming ohai'"" of the , 



banks, 

 210. Contented"' among the stones — 



Among the breadfruit'"'* planted by Kahai. 

 Thou wast spoken of by the 00 — '"" 

 By the bird'"' of Kanehili. 

 My chief also was seen"* 

 215. Above the dense Kanalio fog"" by the 



bird— 

 That bird'*" dazed by smoke. 

 Falling to the ground is caught'*' by men. 

 The bird scents'*- the sea spray. 

 There indeed by the sea is my chief, 

 220. On a very sacred day,'*" at the sacred altar, 

 A god that raises up the sea'** at Oneula. 

 His traveling companions were indiflfer- 



ent'*'* about accompanying him. 

 Faint hearted'*" they forsook him ; the 



chief lived alone. 

 Unsafe'*" upon the height of the pali is the 



path — 



185. Ua ike i)u no kakou 



I hele o ka lani i ke awakea. 



I uhai i kana wahine — e — 



Halualua Kona, hahia Wailuku.

195. Hoi hou ka lani i ka wa kamalii ke hiia la. 



ka lani Kaumakoa, ke alii, 



1 lole i kalole ka leo. 



He pe he pa wale no ka noho. 



He mahu paha no Honokawailani. 



200. He lani aimoku, he alii no ka moo, 



O ke alii a ka maka i ike, i papu ke kapu. 

 Papu ka lani palamoa he inoa. 



He kai mahamoe, kai moa Kailua e, 

 O ka luhe la lula i ke kehau. 



205. He hau ke ala, he kumoena ololi : 

 E newa ai o hea make i ka la, 

 Akua noho la i Puuokapolei. 

 E hanehane niai ana ka la i na wahine o 



Kamao, 

 Akua pee, pua ohai o ke kaha, 



210. I walea wale i ke a — 



I ka ulu kanu a Kahai. 



Haina oe e ka 00 — 



E ka manu o Kanehili. 



I kea ae la hoi kuu lani 

 215. Iluna ka ohu Kanalio a ka manu e — 



Kela manu haule wale i kauwahi, 



I hapapa i loaa i ke kanaka. 



Honi i ka manu hunakai o kai, 



Aia ka i kai kuu lani : 



220. I ka la la hoauo i ka lele kai, 

 Akua hoea kai la i Oneula. 

 Ua molowa wale na hoa haele. 

 Ua pauaho, ua haalele : ua noho hookahi o 



ka lani e, 

 Kamau i ka lau o ka pali ke ala —
