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!

Do you think he was alliterative on purpose or no other words would fit what he wanted to say?
