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:
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
describe what it feels like to love
O emphasize a point about love,
O provide the definition of love,
entertain using visions of love,
Mark this and return
Save and Exit
