This article treats selected love poems by the forgotten Polish poetess from the 18th century, Antonina Niemiryczowa. From a syncretic, loosely composed and thematically diverse selection of poems called Wiersze polskie the author chooses a group of love poems, mainly epigrams, presenting conversations of a lady with a bachelor. These works are a rare example of woman writing in the Old Polish literature (especially erotic one), at the same time being testimony to the turn of the century and a change in the literary trends in Polish poetry, a move from the Baroque to the Enlightment’s Rococo. The article highlights the major influences of the French Rococo (intimacy, a flirt and a game of feelings, court conventions) and the baroque erotic metaphor, a transformation of mainly Petrarchan conventions (love as sweet enslavement, the feeling as a flame or a conceptive opposition of fire and ice).
