The strong and irresistible wind blowing from the tempestuous north, made so deep an impression upon my mind for thee, O Taua, that I ascended the mountain, even to the very top, to witness thy departure. The rolling billows extend nearly as far as Stivers *. Thou art driven to the eastward, far away. Thou hast given me a garment, to wear for thy sake; and happy shall I be in the remembrance of thee, when I bind it on my shoulders. When thou art arrived at thy intended port, my affections shall be there.
