CHAPTER XIX 
When Hinaikamalama ceased chanting, she said to Aiwohikupua, 
“Where are you?) Embrace me close to make me warm; I am cold 
all over; no warmth at all.” 
Then Aiwohikupua obeyed her, and she grew as warm as before. 
As they began to take their ease in fulfillment of their vow at the 
betrothal, then the cold came a second time upon Hinaikamalama. 
Then she raised a chant, as follows: 
O my comrade, it is cold, 
Cold as the snow on the mountain top, 
The cold lies at the soles of my feet, 
It presses upon my heart, 
The cold wakens me 
In my night of sleep. 
This time Hinaikamalama said to Aiwohikupua, “ Do you not know 
any reason for our being cold? If you know the reason, then tell 
me; do not hide it.” 
Said Aiwohikupua, “ This.cold comes from your rival; she is per- 
haps angry with us, so she wears her snow mantle; therefore we are 
cold.” 
Hinaikamalama answered, “ We must part, for we have met and 
our vow is fulfilled.” 
Said Aiwohikupua, “ We will break off this time; let us separate; 
to-morrow at noon, then we will carry out the vow.” 
“ Yes,” said Hinaikamalama. 
After they had parted then Hinaikamalama slept pleasantly the 
rest of the night until morning. 
At noon Aiwohikupua again took her in fulfillment of the agree- 
ment of the night before. 
As those two reposed accordingly, Poliahu was displeased. 
Then Poliahu took her sun mantle and covered herself; this time 
it was the heat Poliahu sent to Hinaikamalama. Then she raised a 
short song, as follows: 
The heat, ah! the heat, 
The heat of my love stifles me, 
It burns my body, 
It draws sweat from my heart, 
Perhaps this heat is my lover’s—ah!
