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.​
