Summary "Humors Looking Glasse" by Samuel Rowlands is a satirical poem written in the early 17th century. This work can be classified as a poetic commentary or satire, focusing on the social behavior and humorous follies of its time. The book mainly explores the concept of human folly and the various 'humors' that influence individuals' behaviors—drawing a vivid picture of the comedic absurdities prevalent in society during the Elizabethan period. The content of "Humors Looking Glasse" presents a series of humorous observations and critiques about various characters and social customs of the era. Through a collection of epigrams and anecdotes, Rowlands reflects on the absurdities of human nature, including the intricacies of courtship, marriage, drunkenness, and the trials of love. The narrative comprises dialogues and scenarios that expose the follies of different archetypes, such as jealous husbands, extravagant wives, and foolish travelers, ultimately presenting a mirror to society's quirks and vices.
