Lede kamahaʻo - nā ʻuʻu nui, hoki momona nui, a me ka nānā ʻole ʻana e noi ana e kau ʻia ma ka lāʻau! He moeʻuhane wale nō, ʻaʻole he wahine. A pehea ka pāʻani ʻana o kona puʻupuʻu i ka moa ma ke kūlana wahine lio, pehea lā e paʻa ai ke kāne i ka lōʻihi a ʻaʻole hoʻi i ka punawai mai ia mau leʻaleʻa? A ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻohe ʻoihana. Ua paʻi ʻia paha ka wikiō ma nā ʻāpana, no ka mea, ma kaʻu helu ʻana, ua pono ke kāne i ka cum me kēia wahine ma mua o hoʻokahi manawa!
He nani ka wahine, akā nani ka hale. ʻAʻole i ʻike ʻia kahi koʻokoʻo nui o nā kauā, nā kiaʻi a me nā mea hoʻokele i ka hopena. A ma ka veranda me kahi mea aloha ʻaʻole hiki i kahi wahine waiwai ke hele i waho - e ʻike nā hoalauna! ʻO kēia mau wahine waiwai me nā mea aloha i loko o nā hōkele e hui ai, a i ʻole e hana i aloha i waena o nā limahana. I ʻole e huki nui iā lākou iho a pale i nā pilikia pono ʻole!
He aha ke kumu hoʻohālike, e ʻoluʻolu e haʻi mai iaʻu
