What is the original source of the epigraph at the beginning of New Moon?

An epigraph is a quote at the beginning of a novel.

The epigraph in New Moon is:
These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, comsume.

The original source is Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI, by Shakespeare
