Kia ron<:o mai koe, koutou ko o ivvi maori, o iwi pakeha, kanui to matou rihariha ki tenei mahi—winiwiniana tera i te mataku. Te peneitia he mabi i mua, i nga wa o te pouritanga o to tatou whenua ; taka marie
ki konei, kite wa ote maramatanga, katahi ka pnkanoa tenei malri. Kia rongo mai koutou, ka rere mai matou ki waho o tenei mahi; kei te noho tou matou i runga ito tatou mahi.
