Book 9.168-175
The Trojans led by Mnestheus and Serestus are anxious and prepare their defense.
Haec super e vallo prospectant Troes et armis
168
alta tenent, nec non trepidi formidine portas
169
explorant pontisque et propugnacula iungunt,
170
tela gerunt. Instat Mnestheus acerque Serestus,
171
quos pater Aeneas, si quando adversa vocarent,
172
rectores iuvenum et rerum dedit esse magistros.
173
Omnis per muros legio, sortita periclum,
174
excubat exercetque vices, quod cuique tuendum est.
