Ua hiki i kai!
15 Ai humu-humu,
E lau, e lau e,
Ka opihi[407] koele!
Pa i uka, pa i kai,
Kahi a ke Akua i pe'e ai.
20 Pe'e oe a nalo loa;
Ua nalo na Pele.
E hua'i e, hua'i e, hua'i,
O Ku ka mahu nui akea![408]
Iho i kai o ka Milo-holu;[409]
25 Auau meliana i ka wai o ke Akua.
Ke a e, ke a mai la
Ke ahi a ka Wahine.
E hula e, e hula e, e hula e!
E hula mai oukou!
30 Ua noa no Manamana-ia-kalu-e-a,
Puili kua, puili alo;
Holo i kai, holo i uka,
Holo i ka lua o Pele--
He Akua ai pohaku no Puna.
35 O Pi,[410] o Pa,[410] uhini mai ana,
O Pele i ka lua.
A noa!

[Footnote 402: _A-ama_. An edible black crab. When the surf is
high, it climbs up on the rocks.]

[Footnote 403: _Pai-e-a_. An edible gray crab. The favorite
time for taking these crabs is when the high tide or surf
forces them to leave the water for protection.]

[Footnote 404: _Pipipi_. A black seashell (Nerita). With it is
often found the _alea-lea_, a gray shell. These shellfish,

during stormy weather.]

[Footnote 405: _O-u_. A variety of eel that lurks in holes; it
is wont to keep its head lifted. The _o-i'_ (same verse) is
an eel that snakes about in the shallow water or on the sand
at the edge of the water.]

[Footnote 406: _Akahakaha_. A variety of moss. If one ate of
this as he gathered it, the ocean at once became
tempestuous.]

[Footnote 407: _Opihi_. An edible bivalve found in the salt

old-time people. _Koele_ was a term applied to the opihi that
lives well under water, and
