Canto Vi.

The ekule of the sea is surrounded; Stranded in a shallow, It is within the grasp of the fisherman. Broken are the meshes of the net Within the hala and ulua. A sacrifice is to be offered. Surrounded are the fish of the blue sea. The rocks fall in showers-- A storm of the stones of Kauai. The coldness of death creeps over me. Numb are my limbs, The limbs of Paikanaka. O Kane of the yellow flower; O Ku, ruddy chief; Kamakanaka! It is I, Kawelo, Thy fisherman.

Left for dead beneath the heap of stones, Kawelo, perceiving his danger, continues his prayer.

PAHA EHIKU.

Ku ke Akua I ka nana nuu. O Lono ke akua I kama Pele. O Hiaka ke akua I ka puukii. O Haulili ke akua I ka lehelehe Aumeaume maua me Milu. I'au, ia ia; I'au, ia ia; I'au iho no: Pakele au, mai make ia ia.
