lani. 

 The child who did the work of a chief, 



struggling he gained the island, 

 lie marched boldly within the lines, Papa 



entered where there was a left 



handed fight ; 

 1 Ic reigned in the land as with a strong 



arm. 

 Even the Chief Aneheaulaweaina, 

 75. The right hand of the sweeper of the land. 

 There are the double tusks of Hinamoe ; 

 Where he dwelt, there death lay ; 

 Mis going forth was firm without weak- 

 ness. 

 The chief takes hold, the work is done. 

 80. He bends his 1)ack, — they are thrown into 



a place of filth ; 

 They thrust each other on all sides, with 



broken tones they chase each other : 



they groan within.

 the luahine, name uf a rope fi.xed around a place witliin which was the wrestling ground. It was kapu to break over 

 such places, liut Kamehameha fearlessly did so. 



"Komo Papa, i. e., Kamehameha, kui, etc., Papa entered and fought Icft-liandedlv . The old peopk' say that 

 all Kaniehameha's military tactics were new to ]iis adversaries, they did mil understand his maneuvers. In this he

'"Lalau ke lani, Kamehameha lays hold; inoa, literally, it is cooked, it is done, finished. Caesar is repre- 

 sented as saying after a conquest, "veni, vidi, vici," I came, I saw, I conc|uercd ; but the Hawaiian poet says of 

 Kamehameha, the chief lays hold, )itou, they [the enemy] are cooked, subdued.
