Subj: [kl] Renaissance Migraine (warning: off-topic)
Date: Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:17:37 -0500

I'm cataloguing a bookcase full of old LPs. I've just run across a track
called Qui veut chasser une migraine (1615) by Gabriel Bataille on an album
of Renaissance dances. Does anyone know what the title would have meant in
modern English? With my rudimentary French (unused in 45 years) I'm not sure
if it has something to do (sarcastically) with chasing after (hunting for) a
headache or getting rid of one (driving one out). And would a migraine have
meant the same thing 400 years ago that it means today?

Just curious.
