It leaves him to walk on the ground below,
To walk the ground far below.
The pebbles at Ke'-au grind in the surf.
10 The sea at Ke'-au shouts to Puna's palms,

Move hither, snug close, companion mine;
You lie so aloof over there.
Oh what a bad fellow is cold!
15 'Tis as if we were out on the wold;
Our bodies so clammy and chill, friend!

The last five verses, which sound like a love song, may
possibly be a modern addition to this old poem. The sentiment

Eia ka pu'u nui o waho nei, he anu.
The hill of Affliction out there is the cold.

MAHELE-HELE II

Hi'u-o-lani,[159] kii ka ua o Hilo[160] i ka lani;
Ke hookiikii mai la ke ao o Pua-lani;[161]
O mahele ana,[162] pulu Hilo i ka ua--

He ole ke ku a mauna Hilo me Puna.
15 He kowa Puna mawaena Hilo me Ka-u;
Ke pili wale la i ke kua i mauna-ole;
Pili hoohaha i ke kua o Mauna-loa.

He kuahiwi Ka-u e pa ka makani.
Ke alai ia a'e la Ka-u e ke A'e;[165]
20 Ka-u ku ke ehu lepo ke A'e;
Ku ke ehu-lepo mai la Ka-u i ka makani.

Ino wa o ka mankani o Kau-na.

O Hono-malino, malino i ka la'i o Kona.
