Song for Kcazvciiuiainiii. 



465 



Not disobedient, loose or snappisli. 

 Simply a canoe"*^ support, 

 The head shaping of the chief. 

 The wild duck stream of spring source 

 140. Kamapu water- fall jiervading si>und, 



[Like] the sound of VV'aahia's liroken voice, 

 A distinctive descendant of llaka 

 Is Kahaka, dwelling at Evva here. 

 A tumultuous noise will follow, 

 145. You are going astray, going on. 



Going smoothly to outward appearance. 

 Concealing inwardly the shafts of mischief: 

 Covering small crookedness of the dreams. 

 The things he heard of in the oijen 

 150. On investigation lost their meaning.-'''" 

 Not being finished he continued his 



teasings. 

 To do and assist the wrong 

 Is the fault of these little trickeries. 

 [If] you are mischievous show up clearly 

 what is right. 

 155. It is proper for the man to be 

 domesticated : 

 If well-treated he is generous and 



wasteful. 

 Break carefully the flower of the maniane," 

 The flower of the koolau''- of the flower 



growth 

 That spreads out and unfolds at mid-day, 

 160. Reddened by the sun of the luehu. 



Reddish is the wiliwili''" and the aalii"* 

 The eyes are opened by the scoria 

 In the path leading above .Auahi. 

 Cruelty was spreading in the evening, 

 165. The forgetfulness of the loved one, a 

 companion, 

 [Like] a goose companion, a bearer of 



filth. 

 Defiling and polluting the house. 

 You are an inheritance seeker, which is 



a fault, a crookedness ; 

 Resembling Manokapu'"'"' of the lazy, 

 useless class 



Aole hulu koo kanapi, 



He koo waa wale no, 



Ke poo i kepa kua o kalani. 



Ke koloa auwai poo wai mapu 

 140. O Kamapu waiku kani a an lono, 



O ka lono hakahaka leo o W'aahia. 



He aahia kuiuipua o llaka, 



O Kahaka i ka moe ia Ewa nei. 



He wawa ko hope nei, 

 145. E hele e la oe, hele no, 



Hele hooniania kona le waho, 



Hoihoi iloko ka oi a ke kalohe, 



Ahu kekee liilii a ka moe, 



Ka mea ia i ikea i ke akea 

 150. Ike la hoi ilaila, pau ke ano. 



No ka pau ole ia e lione hou la, 



Ke hoi kokua aku i ka hewa, 



O ka hewa ia o ka hone liilii — e. 



He hone oe, e hoae i akaka lea ka pono. 



155. O ka pono ia o ke kanaka i laka mai, 



A laka ka hoi la, maunauna — e — he mauna. 

 Mamalahia ka pua o ka mamane, 

 Ka pua o ke koolau, o ka ulu pua, 

 Ua pupua mohala wale i ke awakea. 



160. L'a ehu wale i ka la o ka luehu. 

 Ehu ula ka wiliwili me ke aalii 

 L^a mohola na maka i ke aa 

 I ke ala hele ma uka o Auahi — e. 

 Ahiahi ano laha ka lokoino, 



165. Ka manao ole i ka mea 'loha, he hoa. 

 Lie hoa manu nene, he hapai na ino. 

 He hoino a paumaele ka hale. 

 He imi hale oe, a o ke kekee no ia,

 I Manokapu, o ke kaele haloli ili,
