What is the meaning of the quote by shakespeare Is love a generation of vipers?

Pandarus says this in Act III Scene 1 of Troilus and Cressida. Pandarus (who has been acting as the sexual go-between between Troilus and Cressida and who is basically a pimp) has just finished singing an incredibly obscene and filthy song to Paris, who is dallying with Helen of Troy in the Trojan palace while the Trojan warriors are out on the battlefield fighting the Greeks. Paris says "He eats nothing but doves, love, and that breeds hot blood, and hot blood begets hot thoughts, and hot thoughts beget hot deeds, and hot deeds is love." Doves, it would seem, are an aphrodisiac. Pandarus replies "Is this the generation of love? hot blood, hot thoughts, and hot deeds? Why, they are vipers: is love a generation of vipers?" He means "Is this what generates love?" He then refers to a phrase used in the King James Bible, (three times in St. Matthew's Gospel and once in St. Luke's) a "generation of vipers". This means in the Bible, either a generation as we would understand it or the offspring of vipers. But here he has just talked about the process of generation (hot blood, hot thoughts, and hot deeds) of love and then asks if the next step is from love to vipers. This doesn't make much sense unless you remember that vipers are snakes and think about what someone with an incurably dirty mind thinks of when you start talking about snakes. Hot blood makes hot thoughts which makes hot deeds which makes love and that makes . . . you know what. It's a filthy play. Don't even try to get started on the song he sung just before.

Whom did John the Baptist call a generation of vipers?

The reference by John the Baptist to vipers comes from the hypothetical 'Q' document at verses 3:7-17 and was used by the authors of both Matthew and Luke, although Matthew diverged somewhat from the original.Luke has John the Baptist accuse the crowd that came to be baptised, of being a generation of vipers, who flee the wrath to come. In reply, the crowd asked him what they should do.On the other hand, Matthew only had John the Baptist accuse the Pharisees and Sadducees of being a generation of vipers, who flee the wrath to come. The crowd was not implicated and did not respond. The author of Matthew was taking pains to focus his criticisms on the Pharisees and Sadducees, rather than on the Jews as a whole.
