on the other hand, there is found embodied in the exposition of lamentations 1:2, "she weepeth sore in the night," etc., a whole proem, the text of which is psalms 78:7 et seq., "i remember my lute-playing in the night," etc.; this proem contains also the final sentence which serves as introduction to the section isaiah 49:14, and it is known from the "pesiḳta" pericope 17 to be a proem to a discourse on this section, which is intended for the second "consolatory sabbath" after the ninth of av. from this, it becomes evident that the collector of the "eichah rabbah" used the aggadic exposition—found in the "pesiḳta" fulfilling its original purpose—as a comment on lamentations 1:2. the same is true of the commentary to lamentations 1:21 for which there was used a proem on the pesiḳta section isaiah 51:12, intended originally for the fourth sabbath after the ninth of av, and a section which had for its text this verse of lamentations (pericope 19, p. 138a); and also in regard to the comment to lamentations 3:39, which consists of a proem of the pesiḳta pericope 18 (p. 130b).
