Nā moʻo like o nā waihona e make ai ka maka, nā moʻo like o nā leo e luhi ai ka pepeiao, nā moʻo like o nā ʻala e ʻeli ai ka waha, ka ʻalalā a me ka ʻaihimea e piha ai ka noʻonoʻo, nā mea kupaianapa i loaʻa mai e hoʻopilikia ai ka hele ʻana. No laila, ʻo ka poʻe akahai e mālama i ka ʻōpū, ʻaʻole i nā maka. No laila, hāʻule ia mea a lawe i kēia.

He aha kaʻu e hana ai i kēia lā?
E koho i kekahi mea maʻalahi no kēia lā, e like me ka ʻai ʻana i kekahi mea āu e makana mai ai iāʻo iho. E ʻai me ka mahalo, ʻaʻole me ka ʻaiwikiwiki.
Colour's five hues from th' eyes their sight will take; Music's five notes the ears as deaf can make; The flavours five deprive the mouth of taste; The chariot course, and the wild hunting waste Make mad the mind; and objects rare and strange, Sought for, men's conduct will to evil change. Therefore the sage seeks to satisfy (the craving of) the belly, and not the (insatiable longing of) the eyes.
