HE POROPOROAKI.
Ko te poroporoaki tenei a Tianara Puutu te upoko o “ Te Ope Whakaora ” ki Ahitereiria, i tona hokinga ki Ingarangi :— “ Hei Konei ra e Ahitereiria ! He nui to mauaaki i au, a tenei kua riro atu i a koe toku ngakau whakawhetai, a mate noa ahau. I arohaina e ahau to iwi, a i rapu ahau i te painga mo ratou, ara i te painga mo nga mea o tamariki e noho mokemoke ana, e noho ana hoki i roto i te pouritanga. I taku mahinga i tenei, e hari a- o toku ngakau, mo te mea, kahore au i whakararuraru i nga main a etahi atu, e mahi nei i runga i te ra oha kite Atua, kite tangata. Mehemea i oti i au tetahi mea, me hoatu te honore ki toku Ariki. Hei konei ra e Ahitereiria ! Kei to ( aroaro tetahi wa nui, e ahei ai koe kite hanga i tetahi pakitara mo te mana o Ingarangi, a mehemea ka whakaturia ki runga ki nga tikanga tuturu ote pono me te tika, ko koe hei kainga mo tetahi iwi aroha, koha-kore, koa. He iwi hei whakahari ite ngakau o te Matua Nui, a he tauira hoki ki te ao katoa.”
