To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This operation, called moho, was generally performed with a black powder composed of the burnt resin of the kauri, which was inserted into the skin by means of a small chisel made of the bone of an albatross. The process is described at full length by Mr. Taylor in his interesting work on New Zealand. He says that to allay the pain caused by it the artist used to sing to his patients songs, of which he gives the following curious specimen : — '• He who pays well let him be Beautifully ornamente...d ; But he who forgets the operator Let hira be done carelessly : Be the lines wide apart. hiki Tangaroa ! Strike that the chisel as it cuts Along may sound : Men do not know the skill of the operator In driving his chisel along. hiki Tangaroa!" The delicate allusion contained in these lines shows that artists in their poetical effusions always had "an eye to business," and thought it necessary to remind their patrons that beauty, like everything else, must be paid for. The gentler sex had likewise recourse to this mode of embellishment, but the tattooing was only executed on the lips and chin, with an arch little curl at the corner of the eye by way of an accrochc ca'itr.
