The paper discusses one of the epigrams by Jan Kochanowski, published in his collection of epigrams called Fraszki (Trifles). The epigram in question, entitled A Riddle (Gadka), was subject to several interpretations exploiting either obscene or scatological readings. The present study aims to show that these two allegedly discrete body-centric perspectives might overlap, since they tend to coincide quite often in the context of European literature of the 16th and 17th centuries.
