Read the excerpt from Act II, scene vi of Romeo and
Juliet.
Friar Laurence: These violent delights have violent ends,
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite: 15
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
