HE WHAKAMARAMA NA TE ETITA.
He raumati tenei, ka tuku mai te whenua i ona hua. Ka hua te rakau, ka hua nga mea katoa. Ka mahorahora te noho a te tangata. E te iwi! Ka roa tenei au e atiutiu ana i runga i o koutou marae. Karangatia au kite kainga ; kei hiki, atu taku tapuae i to marae ka waiho koe i kona nanu ai. Ma te whakahere a Tamaiwaho ka tau kite whare ! Kia kino mai ta koutou haere, kia kaha ai taku tangi ki o koutou marae! Tenei a te Pipiwharauroa ka tukua atu i tona kohanga hou. He ringa tauhou, kaore ano kia waia kite mau o te purupuru o te whao, kei te whakairo inaianei. Otira na taua ringa ano i whakairo tenei putanga kua taha nei. E kitea e koutou ona he, pehia iho. Tirohia nga putanga o mua atu, ka whakarite ai ki enei putanga. Kite whakaaro iho e tipu haere ana ta tatou manu kite rahi. He nui nga reta a nga hoa kua tae mai, engari e pouri ana matou kite ririki rawa o nga pakau o te manu nei hei hari atu. Ko etahi o nga reta e kore e taea te korero, i te ahua ukupara rawa o nga tuhituhi. E nga hoa kite tuku korero mai koutou hei haringa ma ta tatou manu, kia marama te tuhituhi, hei te taha kotahi anake o te pepa. Engari mehemea he reta mai kite Etita e pai ana nga taha e rua o te pepa. Kua whakaaetia e matou e nga kai-whaka-haere o “ Te Pipiwharauroa” te tono a nga kai-tautoko, kia whakaritea he utu tuturu mo ta tatou pepa. Heoi e te iwi kia mohio mai koutou, ko te utu ka whakaritea inaianei e rima hereni ( 5/-) mo te tau. He utu iti noa iho tenei, ka taea e te rawa-kore, ko ta matou hoki tena i tino hiahia ai. Otira e kore matou e pehi i nga whakaaro mai a nga rangatira. Kongo rawa atu hoki koutou i tatou manu e waiata ana i tana waiata hari, mo tona taenga kite ‘ Ra nui ’ o te Kirimete, mo tona urunga hoki kite ‘Tau hou.’ Me penei ake he mihi whakamutunga atu
a matou kia koutou Atua i runga rawa, kia mau te rongo ki runga kite whenua, mete whakaaro pai ki nga tangata katoa.” Na to koutou hoa, Te Etita.
