Romeo and Juliet question?

what does this mean?

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.

this is from 2, scene 5 when friar talks.

This is coming straight from my book which brings a translation:

ACT 2 SCENE 6

lines:9-15

These violent passions have violent ends and die at their peak - like fire and gun powder, which, meeting, destroy themselves. The sweetest honey is so delicious that it cloys the appetite. Therefore, love in moderation if you want it to endure. In the long run, the hasty arrive no sooner than the slow.

The first line is pretty much foreshadowing their death ''These violent delights have violent ends/And in their triumph die''

The fire and gunpowder line is talking about how as soon as they meet, they consume eachother which is what would happen at the peak of their love.

By the sweetest honey, Friar Lawrence is talking about Juliet.

basically, it means that too much of a good thing too fast can be a bad thing, and it'll go just as quickly as it came.
