Te Tītaringa
- I kawea mai i tāwāhi, kitea nuitia ai i ngā māra i te raumati
Te Huringa Ora
- Ka pau i a ia te takurua ki te poho o Papatūānuku
- He kaiota, he kaikiko anō
- Tērā ka kino i a ia ngā hua e tata ana te tipu ki te papa, pērā i te rōpere
- Kai ai i ngā ngārara e iti ake ana i a ia
- He oho pō
- Nō te tau 1898 i kitea tuatahitia ai
- He parirau anō ōna e huna mai ana i raro i ngā kahu parirau, engari me uaua ka rere
- He kuku anō ōna hei hopu kai māna, hei ārai atu hoki i te hoariri – ki te whakaaro ia kua kore he rerenga mōna i te hoariri, tērā tonu ka ngau
