Interpreting Shakespeare?

Congrats for taking on Shakespeare!! Everyone sees shakespeare a little differently, but I believe that the Friar is speaking about being patient in love and making it last, rather than rushing in and leading with pion instead of love. One thing that helped me understand this book, which I absolutely love, was the movie with Leonardo DeCaprio and Claire Danes. It modernizes everything except the language. It is a great movie, if your parents approve of you watching it! Good luck!!
