Internet Assignment

I would like to introduce you another Latin poet, Catullus. Here is one of his poems:

Odi et amo. Quare id faciam, fortasse requiris.
nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

Translate it.

To help you I have added a page with vocabulary on it.

(Hint: you can also peek at the English translation of the poem. Warning! The English translations there are not literal. I want literal translations, word for word in acceptable English.)
