Fraszki (Polish: [ˈfraʂki]; the title has been translated to English as Epigrams, Trifles, Facetious Verse) is the 1584 three-book collection of 294 short, merry poems by Jan Kochanowski. They were written mostly during Kochanowski's courtier period, in the 1560s and 1570s. That work has been described as among his most popular, and spawned many imitators in Poland.
