r1 Lament for IJIiolilio. 



437 



The people were seen inland 

 95. Sending the soldier in the front 



To take the horse to the sea-shore, 



A road that was [xissible, 



Directed to the wooden house 

 [He] was given the diamond, 

 100. That which enlarges not, from abroad: 



From the chief. King George. 



The chief then asked. 



Where indeed is Kanehoa? 



At his frequent speeches 

 105. Conversing with foreigners, 



Jabbering vigorously. 



Secured by the black water 



N'^aaiweuweu stood up. 



The one who cares for the chiefs ; 

 no. The resting place of those dead. 



I have encompassed all abroad: 



I have seen Spain. 



The chief questioned 



The steward of Kamehameha's time, 

 115. Say, young stalwart, are we alike? 



Return the letter of instruction 



Young stalwart, let us go ; 



You will see, my young child. 



The prow of the Makao vessel, 

 120. The stern of the Russian vessel 



The fruit for the ship sailing to liolalxila : 



A Russian foostool : 



.\ satisfied Xuuhiwa resting place, 



.\ Spanish sea-passage. 

 125. lie satisfied with the journey, O chief! 



And, cciniing to the dark sea, 



[The] blue sea of Kane. 



The chief returns to the land 



Which he had left behind, 

 i.^o. Ste]5ped on dark -backed Hawaii 



.\shore at the head of the land — 



The lehua-sounding rain of ITilo 



Panaewa is wreathing lehua [blossoms], 



Piowai is decorated with wreaths, 

 135. Drinking the dew of the lehua flowers. 



The fragrance is wafted to Ililo. 



Regard hath the bubbling springs in the 

 road : 



The breadfruit planted in the shallow 

 earth 



Above the Ahialoa, 

 140. The tough root potatoes, 



Striven for by the shell-fish 



Ike e mai la ke kini o uka, 

 95. Kena i ke koa i ke alo, 



E lawe ae i ka lio i ke kahakai, 

 I alanui e hiki ai, 

 Kuhi ae i ke halelaau,

 Xa ke 'lii o Kinikenki.
