Aeneid 1.26-39

ergo omnis longo solvit se Teucria luctu;

All the land of Troy therefore released itself from its long grief;

panduntur portae,

the gates were thrown open,

iuvat ire et Dorica castra desertosque videre locos litusque relictum:

(and) it was pleasing to go and see the Doric camp and the deserted places and the abandoned shore.

hic Dolopum manus, hic saevus tendebat Achilles;

Here the band of Dolopians, here cruel Achilles was encamped;

classibus hic locus,

here was the place for the fleet,

hic acie certare solebant.

here they were accustomed to fight in the battle line.

pars stupet innuptae donum exitiale Minervae

Some were amazed at the fatal gift for unmarried Minerva

et molem mirantur equi;

and admired the mass of the horse;

primusque Thymoetes duci intra muros hortatur et arce locari,

Thymoetes was the first to urge that it should be brought inside the walls and placed in the citadel,

sive dolo seu iam Troiae sic fata ferebant.

either with deceit or (because) Troy's fates were already heading in that direction,

at Capys, et quorum melior sententia menti,

But Capys, and those whose mind had a better judgement,

aut pelago Danaum insidias suspectaque dona praecipitare iubent

ordered (us) either to hurl the treachery of the Greeks and the suspect gifts into the sea

subiectisque urere flammis,

and to burn them with flames put beneath,

aut terebrare cavas uteri et temptare latebras.

or to pierce the hollow hiding places and test its womb.

scinditur incertum studia in contraria vulgus.

The crowd was split, unsure, into opposing desires.
