Canto Vii.

O divine Ku, Who beholdest the inner places. O Lono, divine one, Husband of Pele. O holy Hiaka, Dweller on the hills. O Haulili, god Ruling the lips! We two have wrestled, Milu and I. I had the upper hand; I had the upper hand; Then was I beneath: I escaped, all but killed by him.

PAHA EWALU.

He opua la, he opua, He opua hao walo keia, Ke maalo nei e ko'u maka. He mauli waa o Kaamalama. Eia ke kualau Hoko o ka pouli makani, Oe nei la, e Kaamalama Ke hele ino loa i ke ao. Ua palala, ua poipu ka lani, Ua wehe ke alaula o ke alawela, He alanui ia o Kaamalama. Oe mai no ma kai, Owau iho no ma uka; E hee o Aikanaka I ke ahiahi. E u ka ilo la i ko' waha; Ai na koa i ka ala mihi. Ai pohaku ko' akua. Ai Kanaka ko maua akua. Kuakea ke poo I ka pehumu. Nakeke ka aue i ka iliili. Hai Kaamalama ia oe, Hae' ke akua ulu ka niho. Kanekapualena; E Ku lani ehu e; Kamakanaka, Na'n na Kawelo Na ko lawaia.
