TE RANGATIRA NEI A WETERE TE KAUAE.
Ko Wetere Te Kauae te rangatira o Ngatitamaoho e noho ana ki nga taha tai o te awa o Manukau; he kainga tutata tera, kite wahi o nga Mihinere Weteriana, e nohoia nei e tera minita, e Te Rore, Hcnere. | Ko Wetere i roto i enei ra c whakairia tonutia ana e te ngutu, mo tona reinga mai ki runga ki te mea i a Hemi Warihi i mate nei, i te ngan«-a-retanga whakahaurangi i te taone. Na, kua kiia, e ratou tangata Maori, he tangata ngakau kino a Wetere, he nanakia rawa; no konei matou i mea ai, me whakamarama te wahi ki a Wetere, kei waiho era korero tito noa o te tangata kia takoto tonu ki runga ki a ia. E whakaae ana ano matou ki nga whakapuakanga o Wetere e tuakaha ana, a, ka tiroliia kinotia ia e te hunga e matakuare ana ki a ia. Otira, e kiia nei, he ngakau to Wetere kite takahi i nga ture pai o Ingarangi i te Avhenua: he mea! he mea! Horerawa he take mo tena tu korero. Ko ta Wetere, he whakahonore tana i te ture ; he whakahonore hoki ta nga rangatira katca oW' aikato ite ture. A, kia pehea hoki ? E matau ana nga tangata katoa kite M'hakakotahitia
jl te tikanga o nga iwi Maori me nga Pakeha, he j painga tena, mo tetahi, mo tetahi. | Ana ianei Wetere e olio mo tona tupapaku? He I wlianaunga ia nona ; waihoki, ko te whakaaro o nga tangata katoa kua tukua mai kite kotahitalii o Wetere. Na, me he mea, i whakaititia e ia te korero, kua taupoki ki runga ki a ia nga kupu whakahe o nga iwi, kua waiho tauwehe ia i roto ita ratou aroha. Ko ana tono, kihai nei i rite ki te ture, i matau ano a Wetere, ekore e wliakaaetia; i matau a Waikato hoki. Otira, he aroha mo te tupapaku i puta ai nga kupu nunui o Wetere; ekore hoki ia e titiro kite he o ana kupu i roto i tona aroha nui ki tana tupapaku. No konei i kitea ai, katika ta Wetere kite ritenga Maori, ka tika ki tona whakaaro ake, ki nga whakaaro o nga tauiwi; a, ah.akoa he tono pakupaku tana, a, ahakoa i matangengere nga kupu, e mea ana matou, mei penei te tika o nga rangatira katoa me Wetere, he iti te tutu e kitea ki enei motu.
