0, my daughter, when you came 
from afar, 
And your hands were formed, and 
your feet, 
And your face, you floated, 0 
daughter, 
In the Kurahaupo, Ruatea’s canoe, 
When you embarked in the Aotea, 
the canoe of Turi, 
You forded the whenua kura at 
its mouth, 
Thence was made the house of 
Kangitawi; 
Let us plant the kumara, 
And sow the karaka, in the land 
bordering the sea ; 
Sink deep the post, 
Leave it for Nga tua hine, from 
Nonoko-uri, 
From Nonoko-tea, the Hererunga 
and Korohunga. 
Hau took up some sand in the 
palm of his hand, and his staff. 
When he crossed over the river, 
Finding it Avas wide he called it 
Wanga-nui; 
Splash the Avater, that will reach 
Wangae-hu; [kina; 
The length of a fallen tree, isTura- 
Having many times lifted up his 
feet, Tikei; 
When his heart sank within him, 
ManaAvatu; 
When the wind whistled past his 
ears, Hokio; 
The small river he called, Ohau > 
When lie carried his staff in a 
horizontal position, Otaki;
