French Old (842-ca.1400) term
Eva Olsson
retollir
I have an old French song from the 14th century by Machaut that I need to figure out. I understand most of it, but there are a few words that are problematic, e.g. retollir.
Would appreciate any help on this!
Here are the lyrics:
Dame, a vous sans retollir
Dong cuer, pensee, desir,
Corps, et amour,
Comme a toute la millour
Qu'on puist choisir,
Ne qui vivre ne morir
Puist a ce jour.

Lady, to you without reserve
I give my heart, thought and desire.
My body and my love.
As to the very best
One may choose.
And who is able this day
To make me live or die.
