A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Renyer, (Charlotte)
RENYER (CHARLOTTE),
Stiled by herself La Muse Limonadiere, on account of her being the daughter of one who sold lemonade, and having also married one of that profession, who kept the German coffee-house, in the street of St. Croix, in Paris. She also married a second husband, in the same business, named Bourrette.
Madame Bourrette composed a collection, in prose and verse, under the title of Recueil en Vers et en Prose, dedicated to King Stanislaus. This celebrated muse has employed her pen chiefly in praise of those actions and events which have been most interesting to France. But her Ode to the King of Prussia was much esteemed, and that great monarch honoured her (through the hands of his ambassador) with a very fine gold etui. This ode was composed before the war of 1755.
