To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Qualis artifex pereo!" said he in one of those terse un- translatable Latin phrases when he was summon- ing up his courage to fall upon his sword in the high Roman manner; surely there spoke the ar- tist: "How artistically I die I" The activities of Charles were so enormous that it is impossible in this short sketch even to men- tion them all. Besides his conquest of Francis 94 THE EMPEROR CHARLES V and, through him, Italy, he saved Europe from the Turk. To Francis's eternal dishonour he had m...ade an alliance with the last great Turkish Sul- tan, Solyman the Magnificent. The baleful power which had conquered Constantinople less than a century before seemed to be sweeping on to spread its abominations over Western Europe ; and history finds it difficult to forgive Francis for assisting its latest conqueror. Men remem- bered how Constantine Palseologus had fallen amidst smoke and carnage in his empurpled blazonry, heroic to the last; they forgot that the destruction of 1453 was probably the direct re- sult of the Venetian and French attack under Dandolo in 1204, from which Constantinople never recovered.
