From O.Henry, The Skylight Room
"I pray you let the drama halt while Chorus stalks to the footlights and drops an epicedian tear upon the fatness of Mr. Hoover. "

Not in the dictionary. O.Henry created an adjective from the noun.

epicedium [ˌɛpı'siːdıəm]
noun
(plural: -dia [-dıə]) (rare)
a funeral ode
[ETYMOLOGY: 16th Century: Latin, from Greek epikedeion, from epi- + kédos care]
