84I was venerating the temple of the god, built of ancient stone: 'Grant us a home of our own, Thymbraean; 85grant walls to the weary, and offspring, and a city that will endure; 86preserve a second Pergamum for Troy, the remnant left by the Danaans and pitiless Achilles. 88Whom are we to follow? 88Or where do you bid us go? 88Where are we to settle? 89Grant us an omen, father, and glide into our hearts.'
