Etangi e te iwi ki te matua kua ngaro

KI A HORI KEREI

Te kai-hautu o te waka
Te whakaruru hau o te iwi Māori
i nga ra i mua
Te toak tu moana i aio
Haere ra e Pa.
Te putea o nga mahara o nga kupu.
Ma muri e mihi o koha ki te ao

SOLDIER, STATESMAN,
LOVER OF HIS FELLOWMEN.

whose wisdom eloquence and strong
personality gave to the people
of this colony a large measure
of the liberties they now possess
