Friar Lawrence:
Friar Lawrence is a holy man of the church in the play. He is a confidant and friend to Romeo Montague , and is the priest who marries Juliet and Romeo in secret.
"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.
(II.vi.9-15)
