Charlotte Butler was an English stage actress and singer of the seventeenth century. She may have joined the Duke's Company in the 1670s, but her first definite recorded performance was in Aphra Behn's The Revenge (1680)[1] The anonymous A Satyr on The Players (c. 1682) describes her,
And Butler's wiles are now so common grown
That by each feather's Cully they are known
So that at least to save her tottering Frame
At Musick Clubs she strives to get a name
But money is the Siren's cheifest aim.
At treats her Squeamish stomach cannot bear
What Amorous Sparks provide with cost and Care
But if she's hungry faith I must be blunt
She'll for a dish of Cutlets shew her Cunt.[2]
