Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v 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.

friar laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he

[] knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers
[] feels that romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married.
[] enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can others
[] wants to caution romeo about the consequences of his actions.
