The game has by this time resolved itself into a contest of wits as well as of skill, and the two chief antagonists are—strange to relate—Lohiau, the man who was called back from the grave and the woman to whom he owes his life, Hiiaka.
As a prelude to her next play Hiiaka gave this song:
I uka kaua i Moe-awakea,[23]
I ka nahele o Ka-li’u, la.
Auwé ho’i, e-e!
TRANSLATION
You shall bed with me in open day
In the twilight groves of Ka-li’u—
Woe is me! I’ve uttered it now!
