Romeo and Friar Laurence discuss Romeo’s new love in this dialogue from Act II, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet

Romeo: I pray thee, chide not; she, whom I love now
Doth grace for grace and love for love allow;
The other did not so.

Friar Laurence: O! she knew well
Thy love did read by rote and could not spell.
But come, young waverer, come, go with me,
In one respect I’ll thy assistant be;
For this alliance may so happy prove,
To turn your households’ rancour to pure love.

Romeo: O! let us hence; I stand on sudden haste.

Friar Laurence: Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast

In Romeo's dialogue, he reveals his excitement for finding Juliet, a girl who returns his love and affection. His hurried nature to get married and run off to finish organizing the wedding also demonstrates his excitement. Friar Laurence is cautious and optimistic. He is hoping that this marriage between the offspring of the feuding families may end the hatred and violence in Verona. He tells Romeo to be cautious when he says "they stumble that run fast". This line is also foreshadowing the predicament Romeo and Juliet get themselves into when Romeo quickly gets revenge for Mercutio's death.
