Shakespeare, William

"Twelfth Night"

Why, this is
evident to any formal capacity; there is no
obstruction in this: and the end,--what should
that alphabetical position portend? If I could make
that resemble something in me,--Softly! M, O, A,
I,--
SIR TOBY BELCH O, ay, make up that: he is now at a cold scent.
FABIAN Sowter will cry upon't for all this, though it be as
rank as a fox.
MALVOLIO M,--Malvolio; M,--why, that begins my name.
FABIAN Did not I say he would work it out? the cur is
excellent at faults.
MALVOLIO M,--but then there is no consonancy in the sequel;
that suffers under probation A should follow but O does.
FABIAN And O shall end, I hope.
SIR TOBY BELCH Ay, or I'll cudgel him, and make him cry O!
MALVOLIO And then I comes behind.
FABIAN Ay, an you had any eye behind you, you might see
more detraction at your heels than fortunes before
you.
MALVOLIO M, O, A, I; this simulation is not as the former: and
yet, to crush this a little, it would bow to me, for
every one of these letters are in my name. Soft!
here follows prose.
[Reads]
'If this fall into thy hand, revolve. In my stars I
am above thee; but be not afraid of greatness: some
are born great, some achieve greatness, and some
have greatness thrust upon 'em.
