Te Rerenga o Kotehi ki Mekehiko.
Kaore i maha nga tau i muri iho o te matenga o Korupua, ka mahara nga Paniora ki nga nui i whakaaturia e takoto ana mai i nga whenua tawhiti whaka-te-hau-auru, i whaia atu ra e Korupua (Columbus). No te unga o nga kaipuke o Paniora I ki tera wahi o Amerika, ki | Mekehiko (Mexico) ka whakai--5 ria ake te haki toliu-ma o te i Kingi o Paniora. E hui ana hoki nga Paniora, me to ratou rangatirameKotelii(Cortez). Ko
te ingoa o te Kingi o taua wahi i te taenga atu ai o Kotehi ma, ko Monetehuma, he tangata rangimarie; a, i matenui ona iwi katoa ki a ia. Ka rongo te kingi ra, ki nga Paniora, e haere ropu ana, e whakataka-haere ana i nga kainga, ka kareretia atu, " He aha ta koutou 1 Engari, tenei he taonga hapainga atu; haere mai e hoki ki to koutou whenua ake." Ka ki atu a Kotehi, " Taihoa, he kupu nui taku, me korero tonu atu e ahau kite kingi ake." Ano ko nga karere, ka mea, "Kaore koutou e tae kite kingi; he mana nui kei i a ia, kaore te tangata e poka kite aroaro o te Kingi ra i nga ture kua oti te whakatakoto." Whakahoki noa, whakahoki noa, tohe tonu a Kotehi ratou ko ana hoa kite wliai atu i te kingi ra a Monetehuma, kite pa tapu ki Mekehiko (Mexico) e tu rangatira ana hoki te pa a Mekehiko i te taha o te roto. Kanapanapa kau ana nga mano whare i te whitinga o te ra ki runga. Na, i runga i enei tikanga, ka whakaaroaro te kingi ra, koia pea he mana-atua ta te iwi tau hou nei, me whakaae ahau kia kitekite tetahi i tetahi. E whakatata ana a Kotehi ma ka putu a Monetehuma (Montezuma) ki waho me nga huruhuru o ana waewae, kotahi mano, rangatira, rangatira kau. He mea kauhoa atu te kingi ra i runga i te papakoura, arai rawa te pane ki nga hanga whakauira, he ana te manawa i te tirohanga atu. He ropu ki mua me nga tokotoko, koura kau, he ropu ki muri, he ropu ki maui, he ropu ki matau. Mawai hoki e korero te tu-rangatira o tera iwi me to ratou kingi! .No te kitekitenga, ka tonoa e te kingi kia kai a Kotehi me nga Paniora ki te whare o nga nui, o nga mana. No te nohoanga o Kotehi kite whare o te kingi ra, ka whakatakoto ngakau a ia, a, kihai i wheau ka mau te kingi ra i te herehere. Ka whakatika te tama o te kingi, me nga rangatira. I runga i ta raua kekeri, ka hinga ko te tangata-whenua.
Ka toa ko ngaPaniora(Spaniards). I patua noatia iho etahi o nga rangatira, a ko te kingi ra, ko Monetehxima i meatia kite mekameka, wliakamutua ake tana mana, a riro rawa atu te whakahaere, mete mana ote kingitanga i a Kotehi me ona hoa Paniora.—Mary Howitt.
