CHAPTER X 
At these words of his youngest sister *® Aiwohikupua said, “ Stay 
here, then, with your sisters and go with them wherever you wish, 
but I am going home.” 
Aiwohikupua turned to go, and as the two were still on the way, 
rang the song of Mailehaiwale. as follows: 
My divine brother, 
My heart’s highest, 
Go and look 
Into the eyes of our parents, say 
We abide here, 
Fed upon the fruit of sin.“ 
Is constancy perhaps a sin? 
Aiwohikupua turned and looked back at his younger sisters and 
said, “ Constancy is not a sin; haven’t I told you that I leave you 
because you are worthless? If you had gained for me my desire 
you would not have to stay here; that was what you were brought 
‘here for.” The two turned and went on and did not listen to the 
sisters any longer. 
When Aiwohikupua and his companion had departed, the sisters 
conferred together and agreed to follow him, thinking he could be 
pacified. 
They descended and came to the coast at Keaau, where the canoe 
was making ready for sailing. At the landing the sisters sat waiting 
to be called; all had gone aboard the canoe, there was no summons at 
all, the party began to move off; then rang out the song of Maile- 
kaluhea, as follows: 
My divine brother, 
My heart’s highest—turn hither, 
Look upon your little sisters, 
Those who have followed you over the way, 
Over the high way, over the low way, 
In the rain with a pack on its back, 
Like one carrying a child, 
In the rain that roars in the hala trees, 
That roars in the hala trees of Hanalei. 
How is it with us? 
Why did you not leave us, 
Leave us at home, 
When you went on the journey? 
You will look, 
Look into the eyes, 
The eyes of our parents, 
Fare you well!
