His Most Highness King D. Kalakaua, the Moi of the Hawaiian Archipelago.
O Father, Give us heed.
We are Your own citizens, named below, from the District of Koloa, Island of Kauai.
We humbly ask before Your Most Highness, while approving of all which You have done for the rights and the benefits of Your Nation. Just as the Royal rights that You have.
And we truthfully state that we do not join with the white skins [ili keokeo] who oppose You and Your Ministers that You rightly selected, as per your power as King and Father of Your Lahui. And we thank the Heavens.
“Long Live the King in God!
Long Live your Kingdom!”
