The Friar basically tells Romeo to slow down with his reckless love. He tells him to "moderate" his rash impulses.

"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..."
