A Lament for Liholiho. 



On His Departure for England. 



He Kanikau no Liholiho. 



I Kona llolo Ana i Ueritania. 



Cr)' forth a regard. 



Cry the virtues from Kaniehanieha ; 



Show paternal affection; 



(brieve you people all. 

 5. Indeed we all grieve, 



The right [course] is obscure, 



To be severed is to be lost. 



Grieve not also for the queen, 



Without affection for her parents; 

 10. They voiced lamentation. 



Waving their hands behind ; 



Shouting undying aft'ection 



[.\t] your ascent upon the ship. 



Von voiced farewell ashore ; 

 15. The guns relocated their salute; 



The foreigners all joined. 



Mr. Parker called out 



Bright be the nights to the end. 



CTcntly moving was the sailing of the ship, 

 20. Xot dashing the waves on board : 



The hull of the ship was dry 



By the steering of the helmsman. 



Kamaulaua was his name. 



Kamamalu was questioning, 

 25. They had the took. 



The scattering of unintelligible talk. 



Kekuanaoa stood forth. 



The offspring of Nahiolea ; 



Kiilaweau. an uncle, 

 30. [\\'as] only an idle boaster. 



Xaihekukni remaining here. 



Offspring art thou of Hanakahi, 



Simply a proud strutter, 



\ restless traveler abroad. 

 35. Peekua Kauluhaimalama, 



Kekuhaupio, a father. 



Haughtily lagged behind 



The window below. 



Mokuaikalai called : 

 40. Where indeed is Naukana ? 



Thou art an offspring of Kaniano : 



He al.so has the broom 



To cleanse aboard the ship ;
