Kite taringa whakarongo i tawhiti he mea noa pea te matemate o te tangata e matemate mai nei. E pa kau ana te rongo ki te taringa, kaore e hohonu iho ki roto ki te ngakau te mamae—no te mea hoki kei tawhiti e noho ana, kaore e kitea iho e te kanohi. Koia hoki me tatou, kei run "-a kei te ora e noho ana ; ko te rongo kau o te mate e puta ana mai ki a tatou ; ko te ringa o te mate ki h:ti ano kia pa ki a tatou. Tena pea etahi tangata e noho ahuareka ana ki taua hanga, kite whawhai—na te mea ra e ngaro ana i tona kanohi. Mehemea ka kite pu i te rau tangata e tawhetawheta ana i roto i ona toto, e ngaoraora ana, e aue ana i te mamae, katahi rawa ka tau te pouri kite ngakau ; katahi rawa ka whakaaro ake pea te ngakau hei aha rate pai kia maumautia enei tangata tokomaha kite mate i runga i tenei ritenga wairua kau ? Ko te ritenga Ivingi ta matou e ki nei ; he wairua hoki ia—ekore e taea te tinanatanga. Tena iana; mehemea i ata puta taua ritenga, noho katoa ana pea te motu i raro i a Waikato raua ko tona Kingi. Katahi ka pehea ? Katahi .ranei ka ora, ka noho rangatira te tangata ? Ki ta matou whakaaro katahi ano ka noho No te mea kua kitea nga mahi a Waikato i mua ai. Tona whakaaro i mua, he mea kia whai mana ia i runga ake i nga iwi katoa; tona whakaaro hoki inaianei, he pena ano—he mea kia puta mai i a ia he tikanga mo te motu katoa. Na te mea he
huaralii ke tana huarahi inaianei. Ko tona huarahi o mua kua kapi ite pakelia; kua kore e puta tona whakaaro whanoke inaianei ite Pakeha nana i arai. Na konei ka kingaiwi kia tahuri ki tonaito kite pakeha, kia aia katoatia ki te moana. Muri iho ka pehea ?ka noho ra ko Waikato te tan-rata. Mrhemea e rite ana te mana o Waikato ki to Ee Pakeha, tena ranei e rite kite Pakeha te manawanui, to pai inarire ? Kaore pea ; penei kai te whnkahianga noa atu ki nga iwi katoa o te motu. Efig.-u-i te ".vlvikauru ki roto ki nga ritenga nga\vare o te Kuini, ratou ano me nga tangata katoa o etahi walii atu e hiahia ana ki t? uiiawhai, kia ora ai, kia whai morehu ai. Ki nga tare ote Kuini he tangata te tan-ata ; tetahi e kiia hei takahi i t(.-tahi ; ekore tetahi e kake ki rung a, ko tetahi e hold ki raro, Heoiano te tikanga e hoki ai te tangata ki raro ki to te Kuini Ture, he whanako, he kohuru, me etahi he atu —he mea tika hoki kia kuare te tangata he.
