'i add' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'rome collapsed in excess' is the wordplay.
'collapsed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in excess' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rome' anagrammed gives 'more'.
'more'+'over'='MOREOVER'

'may' is the link.
