| | | I am having trouble finding a rational argument for the translation of nostra in line one of the poem. There seems to be a lot of confusion as to whether it should be my or our. | |

| | | It can be taken as either; it really has more to do with interpretation than actual translation. Solely based on a literal translation of the word 'nostra' it has to be our. | |  | Emily  |

| | | "Noster" does translate as "our, however, it is a poetic plural. The meaning of "noster" is "my". Catullus uses poetic plurals in many of his poems. | | | Amanda Hernandez, Latin student
