It's all over except for the EJULATION

What's the word I'm thinking of? Today, it's....

EJULATION [ej-yoo-LAY-shun] (noun)

A wailing; lamentation

“‘Eleven years of solitary confinement!’ is the ejulation of Mr. Dickens, forgetting the crime for which the man was imprisoned!”
--Joseph Adshead, Prisons and Prisoners (1845) (TWITO, page 44)
