Here is the thought: I desire to meet you again. It is my Teriitera makes the only riches I desire in this world. It is your eyes that I desire to see again. It must be that your body and my body shall eat together at one table, there is what would make my heart content. But now we are separated. May God be with you all.

When the ship started I ran along the beach to see you still; and when you were in the open sea I cried out to you 'Farewell Louis, and when I was coming back to my house I seemed to hear your voice crying, 'Rui, farewell. Afterwards I watched the ship as long as I could until the night fell; and when it was dark I said to myself: 'If I had wings I should fly to the ship to meet you,... I wept then ... telling myself continually, 'Teriitera returns to his own country and leaves his dear Rui in grief.... I will not forget you in my memory.

After that we passed that night in the impatience of grief.
