Latin text
Aleph.
Quomodo sedet sola civitas plena populo!
Facta est quasi vidua domina gentium;
princeps provinciarum facta est sub tributo.
Beth.
Plorans ploravit in nocte, et lacrimæ ejus in maxillis ejus:
non est qui consoletur eam, et omnibus caris ejus;
omnes amici ejus spreverunt eam,
et facti sunt ei inimici.
Gimel.
Migravit Judas propter afflictionem, et multitudinem servitutis;
habitavit inter gentes, nec invenit requiem:
omnes persecutores ejus apprehenderunt eam inter angustias.
