Chapter VIII
Ancient and Original People in Possession of the Tamaki (Auckland) District (Nga-oho)

"Ka riro ia Whanga-nui kai te rehia
Kai te Kau-hika ko au anake i makere nei
Hei tiaki whare ki Hua-rau ra
Te pa koia o te ngutu poto
E heke re e O-kahu
Kai parea ki O-tarara
Kai hopu noa mai
E tohi, kai hea hoki
E te waipuke
E hia wai ki te ngorengore
Whaka moe rawa atu ki raro ra
Kai ara wawe mai kai runga
Waka moe rawa atu ki tena tapui
Ka tangi aue ki tona matua."

He tangi mate.
