Biographical SummaryTranslation of selected portions from J. Aurifaber’s collection published in 1566 under title Tischreden.
162
I saw a dog, at Lintz in Austria, that was taught to go with a hand-basket to the butchers’ shambles for meat; when other dogs came about him and sought to take the meat out of the basket, he set it down, and fought lustily with them; but when he saw they were too strong for him, he himself would snatch out the first piece of meat, lest he should lose all. Even so does now our emperor Charles; who, after having long protected spiritual benefices, seeing that every prince takes possession of monasteries, himself takes possession of bishoprics, as just now he has seized upon those of Utrecht and Liege.
