Abstract

The article constitutes an attempt at elaborating upon a distinguishable type of text composition appearing in the parts that conclude individual books of Jan Kochanowski’s Fraszki. What is especially emphasized by the author of the article is a peculiar, in terms of convention, way of crowning the collection by two epigraphs whose character is obviously obscene: Marcinowa powieść (III 85) and O flisie (III 86). In the light of the argumentation presented, the sense of the poets’ concept implemented therein should be sought in a much dichotomous relationship between the two said fraszkas and the preceding poem Na słup kamienny (III 84), but also in the figure of achieving a defined aim, which appears in both the fraszkas. The author of the article also considers some correspondences occurring between the fraszka O flisie and the pieces Na most warszewski (II 106–108) and the elegy III 15.
