10. Seeking- American people of education; 



Brought hither from foreign lands. 



Love to you, O my companion : 



]\Iy companion peopling the uninhabited 

 region.

When well opened 



The patch owner rejoices 



In his flowers here.

Lunalilo. 



Moving, the heavens fell by the rolling 



of Kieleula, 

 By the sweet voiced lunihini in the woods. 

 By right the chief could not say anything 

 From within Hinawaikolii. 

 5. The central precious tax of the upper Haea 

 To raise up red Malani so as to be heard. 

 He was from Kalanipulei : 

 As the chief stood forth, nine prostrated, 

 Divided through the prostration they 

 escaped this, 

 10. The eyes reverted not on seeing clearly, 

 I went on, tired of him. 

 Here you are. 



Kona was lazy for the sun was hot, 

 Huehue was enjoying the gentle 



land breeze, 

 15. Not wearied by the hand of Hikuhia. 

 The standing staff of Mailehahei 

 Shielding only those having confidence. 

 What are you doing there, Keawaawa? 

 You came back by the aalii leaf road, 

 20. Kamakuhi smelling fragrant flowers 



of Kapuulena. 

 Let us look, he is here ; 

 He was meek, gentle was his living 

 In receiving these good things, 



sitting quietly. 

 Here you are.
