Yes, only uglier.  One of my college professors likened it to a messy
argument between five year olds over who got to the sandbox first.

My general feel of the passage from Rumpolt is that he says while he was born
in Hungary  (Denn weil ich ein geborner Vnger/) he has had to leave for some
reason.  He mentions the Turks at one point, but my German is not good enough
to tell if that was his reason for leaving.   It seems like he may be living
in Wallachia at the time he is writing.

*sigh*  Another time I wish I'd worked a little harder on my German.
