Looking for a book I gave away long ago. I thought it was titled Medieval Song. It was a collection of poems or songs. Maybe troubadour sings. I recall one about a nightingale. "Tandaradei" ??

Another was about two sisters who wanted to have their way with a traveler. He pretended to be mute so that way he could not tell others what had happened. To test him they dragged a cat with long nails over his back and he said nothing. So they had their way with him. The poem ended with "and tit for tat I'll kill that cat."
