gambol'd

Chiltern tells me that whilst the debate on the Irish Bill was going on there came from no one knows where, passed from hand to hand along the benches, a scrap of paper on which was written this verse from "In Memoriam": "At our old pastimes in the hall We gambol'd making vain pretence Of gladness, With an awful sense Of one mute Shadow watching all."
