Fame trumpets your conquests each day 253
How pleasing, when borne by the tide 252

A eulogy for the princess 209
Precious the gift of heart’s ease! 208

shark! 222

_hula o-niu_: The rustle and hum of spinning top 249
_hula pahu_—
In Puna was I, in Kiki’i, in Ha’e-ha’e 105
performers 103

_hula pa-ipu_—
A burst of smoke from the pit lifts to the skies 89
A pit lies (far) to the east 86
A storm from the sea strikes Ke-au 78
Big with child is the Princess Ku 81
Ewa’s lagoon is fed with dirt 84
Glowing is Kahiki, oh! 75
I will not chase the mirage of Maná 80
Leaf of lehua and noni-tint 76
Methinks it is you, leaf plucked from love’s tree 83
The iwa flies heavy to nest in the brush 76

Alas, there’s no stay to the smoke 195
At Wailua stands the main house-post 192
Bedeck now the board for the feast 200
Behold Kauná, that sprite of windy Ka-ú 193
From Kahiki came the woman, Pele 188
Ho! mountain of vapor puffs! 194
Lo, Pele’s the god of my choice 198
They bear the god’s ax up the mountain 191
To Kauai, lifted in ether 189
With music VI 154
Yours, doubtless, this name 201
_hula pua’a_: Ax of broadest edge I’m hight 230
