The essay is an analysis of the so-called „framework” elements in Kochanowski's "Laments" (including the title, dedication, "Epitaph for Hanna Kochanowska"), and metapoetic fragments of the mourning cycle, particularly where the poet refers to the contemporary judgements about the status of poetry and the poet. The author concludes that the author of "Laments" in the late stage of his work not only greatly modified his views on theoretical issues in the art of poetry (because he even contradicts in "Laments" some of his opinions expressed in the previously written poetic manifesto – "The Muse"), but also offered his contemporaries and posterity, more subjective interpretation of the principle of appropriateness ('decorum'), held in a spirit of modernity and in search for new poetic solutions.

The aim of this article is to examine how the concept of “shame” functions in the works of Jan Kochanowski, in particular the relationship between woman’s nature, specifically understood by the Renaissance poet, and shyness. Both dictionary sources and contexts of Kochanowski’s poetry certify that the concept of “shame” was not clearly understood in the old Polish language: it had positive and also pejorative meanings. Shame conceived as an attribute of mind meant the same as modesty, prudence, a sense of dignity, or “the fear of infamy”. In the praising love poems, written in honour of women, and in the didactic works (such as "Dziewosłąb") “shyness” (sometimes also indicated by an adjective “shy” in reference to a man or a woman, or by a noun “shame”) is regarded as the greatest — next to the virtue — advantage of woman. Its absence, however, especially in older and mature women, is a serious flaw of personality. Shame, understood not as a human trait but as a feeling, has indeed a negative sense in Kochanowski’s poems (marked by the old forms of the verb “to be ashamed” in his poetry from Czarnolas). This verb usually signalled distress of the lyrical subject and psychological pain (for instance in the erotic poems about unhappy love), disgust, or a sense of aversion (for example caused by an improper behaviour of mature women).
