Volume 6 / Part 2 — Song to Kauikeaouli.
Reading edition
The king of heavenly brightness,
That heavenly flame shines increasingly;
A chief of the projecting stone-cliff.
O Lono!
Here is your chief eye, your leaf, your bud, 10.
Your light, your child, your sacred chief,
O Kahaipiilani!
Take care of the leaf, the flower (child) of Keaka;
Whose restless child he was.
His eyes were blackened that
It penetrated the eye-ball;
Indicating high kapu;
The time that chief ended.
