Te 'āpi'o ma'a e pāpae nei i te mahani, te 'āpi'o ha'u e 'ā tupea nei i te taringa, te 'āpi'o 'ai e 'ā rave nei i te 'āfa'i, te 'ō'ō ha'uti e 'ā rahi nei i te manava, te mea 'ō'ōhia rahi e 'ā tāvaha nei i te tīpā. Nō reira, te 'āpi'o rahi, 'āti te pāpae, 'āti te tupea, 'āti te rave 'āfa'i, 'āti te rahi manava, 'āti te tāvaha tipā. Nō reira, te ha'api'o rahi, a ha'api'o i te 'ō'ō nō te 'āfa'i, 'aore rā i te 'ō'ō nō te mahani; e tāpā mai i teie 'ē tāpā i te 'ohipa.

E aha tēia ʻāʻahito?
Te mau mea 'ō'ōhia e 'ā rahi nei, 'ē te 'ō'ō nō te mahani, 'āti te pāpae, te tupea, te rave 'āfa'i, te rahi manava, te tāvaha tipā.
E pēhea tōna ʻāʻano ia'u?
'Ē mea hau te 'ō'ō nō te 'āfa'i i te mea 'ō'ō nō te mahani, 'ē te 'āpi'o rahi e 'ā rahi nei i te ta'ata.
E aha tāʻu e rave i tēia mahana?
A 'ō'ō i te 'ai mā'ta'a nō te 'ō'ō nō te mahani i teie mahana.
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.

Te 'āpi'o ma'a e pāpae nei i te mahani, te 'āpi'o ha'u e 'ā tupea nei i te taringa, te 'āpi'o 'ai e 'ā rave nei i te 'āfa'i, te 'ō'ō ha'uti e 'ā rahi nei i te manava, te mea 'ō'ōhia rahi e 'ā tāvaha nei i te tīpā. Nō reira, te 'āpi'o rahi, 'āti te pāpae, 'āti te tupea, 'āti te rave 'āfa'i, 'āti te rahi manava, 'āti te tāvaha tipā. Nō reira, te ha'api'o rahi, a ha'api'o i te 'ō'ō nō te 'āfa'i, 'aore rā i te 'ō'ō nō te mahani; e tāpā mai i teie 'ē tāpā i te 'ohipa.
