Truly is the king our sovereign lord. Brilliant and illustrious is the House of Kau. He has regulated the positions of the princes; He has called in shields and spears; He has returned to their cases bows and arrows . He will cultivate admirable virtue, And display it throughout these great regions. Truly will the king preserve the appointment.
All night long it howled through the creaking trees, driving the rain before it in lashing sheets. Stout as it was, the olona cord with which Maui's big kite was moored could not long withstand the strain and finally parted, leaving the kite to the mercy of the winds. Tossed madly about in the storm, it was carried far across the flank of Mauna Loa and dropped into the sea off the shore of Kau.
On our return we found a gentleman who had just arrived from Kau, and who proposed to join us in our expedition to the crater, and at three o'clock in the afternoon we set out, a party of eight, with two guides, and three porters to carry our wraps and provisions, and to bring back specimens.
The creature became terribly violent, but Koa Kau held on valiantly and Mackay seized an old Chinese spear that happened to be in the room above and pierced the serpent through the head. They pulled its dead body down into the kitchen below and spread it out. It measured nine feet.
The 'Grand-Master' Yin must have been one of the 'three Kung, the highest ministers at the court of Kau, and was, probably, the chief of the three, and administrator of the government under Yu. Lofty is that southern hill , With its masses of rocks! The tortoise-and-serpent banner marked the presence in a host of its leader on a military expedition.
When I look back and think of it, My tears run down in streams. In the states of the east, large and small, The looms are empty. Then shoes of dolichos fibre Are made to serve to walk on the hoar-frost. Slight and elegant gentlemen Walk along that road to Kau. Their going and coming makes my heart sad. Ye cold waters, issuing variously from the spring, Do not soak the firewood I have cut.
According to this ode then, up to the time of Than-fu, the Kau people had only had the dwellings here described; but this is not easily reconciled with other accounts, or even with other stanzas of this piece. This lady is known as Thai-kiang, the worthy predecessor of Thai-zan.
From that time, the kings of Kau sank nearly to the level of the princes of the states, and the poems collected in their domain were classed among the 'Lessons of Manners from the States, though still distinguished by the epithet 'royal' prefixed to them.
But in the Narratives of the States, a work of the Kau dynasty, and ascribed by many to Zo Khiu-ming, there occur quotations from thirty-one poems, made by statesmen and others, all anterior to Confucius; and of those poems there are not more than two which are not in the present classic. Even of those two, one is an ode of it quoted under another name.
Three Pools or Lakes called Urti, Hetep, and Qetqet. Nebseni reaping in Sekhet-hetepet. Nebseni grasping the Bennu bird, which is perched upon a stand; in front are three KAU and three KHU. Nebseni seated and smelling a flower; the text reads: "Thousands of all good and pure things to the KA of Nebseni." A table of offerings.
