He Whakawai Taanga Moko

See the context in which this text is quoted

“E noho ana, e kai-tahi ana,
Ki te titiro, ki nga rewa
I te ihu, O Tutetawha
E wehoki ana, me he peke ngarara
Taia mai ra, ki te uhi Mataora
Taria, e tuku atu,
Ki to wahine, takiri karito kowhara,
Naku, koe i whakanoko, &c., &c.
