99.—HE WAIATA NA TE PUHI MO TONA HARANGA.

Na Miriama Te Pourewa (Rongowhakaata). Na M'iria ( Hikihiki) Turoa i whakamarama. Ko Miriama Te Pourewa no Ngati-Kohanga, hapu o Rongowhakaata; he tuahine no Rangiwhaitiri, he puhi- I puremu ia ki a Renata Te Atopaki, kua korerotia ra i te waiata name 98. Ko te kainga o Te Atopaki e tata ana ki Papatu, haramai ai i reira kite moe i tenei wahine- Ka haere nga whakapae mo te puhi ra, ka tu nga runanga, kore rawa ia i whakaae ki tona hara, He wa noa mai ka ka te ahi ta-moko, ka hiahia pea ki te ta, katahi ka tu i roto i te runanga, ka waiata i te waiata nei. Na reira tonu i whakaatu tona hara. 1. Taku takiri e whakarawerua ana, Ko au kei te raro e muhengia ana, e, Mo taku hauatanga kite whakapae noa, e; He hanga tawhiti koe, na roto ra i whakaatu. 2. Ka mea, e kui, ka homai korero, Kia whakarongo atu maUa nei ko taringa, Ki oku korero tena te whanatu na; Ko aura i hokotahi, ko aku rongo i haere. 3. Ka poro ra ia oku nei mananga I te wa i mua ra, koi hine ana ‘hau, e. Ka haramai tenei ka koroukore noa, e Ka kino i ahau, ka koha te rauawa.
