The Age of Frivolity is a poem written by Touch'em Timothy and published in 1806. The poem is addressed to three different groups of people: the fashionable, the busy, and the religious world. The author criticizes the prevalent attitudes and behaviors of these groups during the time period, particularly their preoccupation with superficial and trivial matters.The poem is written in a satirical tone, using humor and irony to convey its message. It highlights the absurdity of the fashionable world's obsession with luxury and extravagance, the busy world's neglect of important matters in favor of trivial pursuits, and the religious world's hypocrisy and lack of genuine faith.Throughout the poem, Touch'em Timothy urges his readers to reflect on their values and priorities, and to strive for a more meaningful and purposeful existence. He challenges them to reject the frivolous and superficial aspects of their lives and to embrace a more serious and thoughtful approach to living.Overall, The Age of Frivolity is a thought-provoking and entertaining work of poetry that offers a scathing critique of the societal norms and values of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
