O ka pu lau-i a Malio;
Honehone, honehone, Helu ekahi o Hopoe. "E nanea, etc." Behold Laieikawai On the uplands of Paliuli; Beautiful, beautiful, The storied one of the uplands. REF.--Perhaps resting at peace, To the melodious voice of the birds. Laieikawai rests here On the wings of the birds; Beautiful, beautiful, The storied one of the uplands. She has heard perhaps the playing Of Malio's ti-leaf trumpet; Playfully, playfully, The storied one of Hopoe.] [Footnote 4: Dr. N. B. Emerson's rendering of the myth of _Pele and Hiiaka_ quotes only the poetical portions. Her Majesty Queen Liluokalani interested herself in providing a translation of the _Laieikawai,_ and the Hon. Sanford B. Dole secured a partial translation of the story; but neither of these copies has reached the publisher's hands.] |
