HE MATE MOE.
KUA puta tetahi mate tipua, mate rereke, ki nga wahi o te tuawhenua o Aw herika, ki Ukanata me nga takutai o Wikitoria Roto; no enei tau ano i timata ai taua mate, he mate tino kino rawa, kite pangia te tangata e kore rawa e ora. E tata ana kite hawhe o nga maori o (,ra whenua kua pangia, a kei waenganni ite 20,000 mete 30,000 nga maori kua mate inaianei, engari ra kei te horapa tonu taua mate, kei te piki haere tonu. Kanui te pouri o nga kawanatanga o era whenua kei ngaro rawa nga maori, ka kore he tangata. Ko nga maori anake e pangia ana, kaore nga pakeha. Kite pa mai taua mate kite tangata rereke tona ahua, kaore e tau ki raro, ka haurangi te ahua, ka maha nga ra ka timata te mate moe, ka mate moe tonu, ka mate moe tonu, nawai ra ka takoto ki raro moe ai, a hemo noa iho ; e kore rawa e taea e te tangata te whakaoho, te whakahoki mai ranei. Kite hohoro te mate ka mate i te marama kotahi, kite roa ka mate i nga marama e ono. Inaianei e tata ana kite hawhe ote iwi kei te mate mce, a kei 'e hemohemo tonu i nga ra katoa. Kua tae nga takuta matau ki reira kite titiro Ite ahua mete take o tenei mate. Iki tetahi takuta pa ai kite roro ote tangata, na reira i mate moe ai. Kei te kaha nga takuta kite kimi i te rongoa mo tenei mate kino.
