Eta ma. Kia rongo koutou. Ko tenei nupepa tuatahi nei, he mea whakamatau noa ia na matou. He mea utu na te Pakeha tana nupepa. E mea ana matou ki te maori ko tana nupepa hoki me utu. Ekore ano hoki e tika kia mahi te hunga mahi kite kore he ritenga mo tana mahi. Na, ko tenei taonga hei taonga ma te tangata maori ake ano ; ko te pakeha, he kai mahi kau ia—a, e kore auo hoki pea koutou e pai kia hoki iho o koutou wha.kaaro i o te pakeha whakaaro, no te mea e whai ana koutou ki nga ritenga pakeha iuaianei—inahoki nga mira, nga parau wheuua, nga kaata, nga aha atu ; koia hoki nga nupepa, me pena ano. Kaua eki ko te nupepa anake me whakarere ; no te mea, ma te nupepa, hei whakaatuatu tikanga, ka tika ai te mahinga o ena mira, o ena parau, o ena kaata, o ena aha atu. Ehara i te mahi whaingohia tenei hanga te nupepa—inahoki, he tokomaha nga Kai mahi, nga Kai ta, mete Kai whakamaori. He mea ata tuhi rawa a ringariugatia nga reta katoa i te tuatahi, kia mohio ai nga Kai ta te titiro ; no te mea he reo maori ia. Ko to ratou reo e mohio ai he reo pakeha. Heoi, ka oti te ta kite perehi, katahi ka whakahokia ano kite Kai whakamaori kia tirohia e ia nga heno-a - ka kitea eia nga henga ka whakatikaia, ka whakahokia ano ki nga Kai ta perehi, katahi ka mahia tikatia e ratou. Na, ko ta matou whakaaro i mea ai hei whakarite i te mahi a enei tangata, koia tenei, —kia te kau pea nga pa maori e kohikohi ite moni—kia tae kite rima pauna i te pa kotahi, ia pa, ia pa—a, rupeke noa nga pa kotahi te kau—ka rima te kau ena pauna. Ma te Kawanatanga hoki etahi pauna erima te kau, ka taea te rau—heoi, ka rite te nupepa mo te tau kotahi. Kite pai koutou ki tenei tikanga, katahi ka mahia tonutia te nupepa nei—ki te kore, heoiano, ka mahuefcia i tenei. Kaua e tukua kia roa koutou e whakaaro ana; eugari, kia hohoro te whakaatutia mai. Kite paingia e koutou tenei ritenga me hoatu e matou, ma te Meera e kawe atu, nga nupepa kotahi, te kau mo te pa kotahi, ia pa,, ia pa. Erua putanga ote nupepa ite maraina kotahi—a, tae noatia te mutunga ote tau—ara, i nga marama te kau ma rua.
