WIkmi morning- came tlie wlidle was 



finished. 

 I slept not till iiig-ht became daylight, 

 I aroused Wahineikikalei, 

 170. "Arise thou and let us write down our 



lamentation." 

 She awoke, anil we both wept, 

 I wrote till it was finished. 

 Saying 'twas prompted by the love of man. 

 Here is Kauluhinalo sending thee regards, 

 175. .\s also Keola and Keoniana. 

 Love be to Maria and Naea ; 

 Great is my love for them two. 

 Regards to you all 

 From us. Kilimailani and Kamaikui, 

 180. Fare thee well, companion of endless love. 

 Here am I weeping for fond remembrance. 

 Alas that I see thee not. 

 When indeed shall we two meet ? 

 'Tis only memories that come to me here 



by day and by night. 

 1S5. When I sleep in the night, I long to meet 



thy spirit, 

 Wishing to behold thine eyes. 

 Where art thou, O beloved wreath of the 



parent : 

 O thou (laughter whose memory is 



cherished : 

 O thou firstborn begotten by one that holds 



your love. 

 190. Alas thee ! Here am I dwelling with 



thoughts only 

 That rages within for the benefactor that 



was kind to me. 

 Woe be to us for the separation. 

 When I saw your hand 

 It seemed to me that your body was there 



also. 

 195. Alas thou ! 



Listen ! Here am 1 informing thee that the 



chiefs will not marry 

 He will not consent. 

 For I asked Kaleiopapa : 

 "How is the marriage of you two?" 

 200. .Answered he : "I shall not marry." 

 But it is not cjuite certain yet. 

 Fare thee well.
