8 he tangata tērā, ko ia anake, kāhore hoki ōna tokorua;

āe rā, kāhore anō hoki āna tama, ōna tuākana, tēina rānei;

heoi kāhore he mutunga o tāna mahi katoa,

e kore anō hoki ōna kanohi e mākona i ngā taonga.

Nā, ka mea ia, "Ki a wai tōku whakaaro i ahau ka mahi nei,

ka whakatiki nei i tōku wairua ki te pai?"

He horihori anō tēnei, he raruraru kino.
