Chapter 18

A Hoki-oi above a Hoki-oi above booming
Thou art now flying in the expanse of the sky
And slumbering with the thunder clap and lightning flash.
For what are the two points of the pinions seen,
Thy wings of double span in length
With boom with loudly noise in heaven
Hoki-oi, Hoki-oi (come down, come down)
