More  matter for a May morning.


-Fabian

Twelfth Night; Or, What You Will     Act III Scene iv, Line 142

A bit of an alliterative response from Fabian to Sir Toby Belch when the latter explains his idea for playing a trick on Malvolio. It’s surprising that Fabian didn’t work Malvolio’s name into the response. More matter for Malvolio’s May morning. Or, to fit the meter a little better, More matter for Malvolio’s May morn’.

Look at me: editing Will’s writing to make it better. Ha, that's a hot one!

The working desk of Will's editor on this March morn'. Ha!
