Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. 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: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
