';These violent delights, have violent ends';?

I need help understand a quote.



鈥淭hese violet delights have violent ends



And in their triumph die, like fire and powder.



Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest homey



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.''



-Friar Lawrence.



i know it has stuff do with it romance being fast, and it could end very bad, very fast, but i need help analyzing it more.



if you can help please do, and email me too (:

considering a friar wrote it i think he's pointing out the dangers of lust, sin, and temptations. love moderately, as i don't shell it out to everyone you meet or give away yourself so easily. something along those lines. ''violent delights'' means things that seem pleasurable but are sinful and/or dangerous, and they lead to ''violent ends'', meaning they will never end well.

it means if you rush into love and do without thinking it will end in disaster
It is easier to analyze the quote when you consider the context. This is from Romeo and Juliet, a play about the star-crossed yet impulsive love of two young people.
