Ke popo’i aku la i kai o Maui
Ke kai a ka Wahine ali’i,
O ke kai kui lehua a Pele,
A ko’u akua la, e!
Elieli, kau mai!
Hiiaka was so greatly impressed with this mele that she commanded Wahine-oma’o to restrain herself and observe the dignity of the occasion by eating more quietly. The young woman, thereupon, moderated her gusto and concluded her repast with less smacking of the lips; and the singers proceeded:
E oe mauna i ka ohu ka pali,
Kahá ka leo o ka ohi’a, uwé:
Ike au i ke ahi ai alá,
Ka luahine moe naná[12]
