Translation into Te Reo Maori:
  • Beautiful, lyrical cadences I waiwaia, kupu tatunga
  • Powerful lovers laments makau uhunga
  • Haunting chants of doom
  • Rawiri Paratene, director of the Maori Troilus and Cressida, said the play translated well because "the classical Maori language is very poetic, very bawdy, very prosaic - it's got all the different forms of the language that Shakespeare uses."
