"Lysander, keep thy Hermia. I will none. If e'er I loved her, all that love is gone. My heart to her but as guest-wise sojourned, And now to Helen is it home returned, There to remain"

Answer:

Lysander, keep thy Hermia. I will none. If e’er I loved her, all that love is gone. My heart to her but as guest-wise sojourned, And now to Helen is it home returned,There to remain.

Helen, it is not so.

Disparage not the faith thou dost not know, Lest to thy peril thou aby it dear.Look where thy love comes. Yonder is thy dear.

Explanation:

This is a partial conversation between Demetrius and Lysander, in Act 3; Scene 2 of Skakespeare´s play : "A Midsummer Night´s Dream"

At the beggining of this scene, the Fairy King Oberon and Robin enters followed by Demetrius and Hermia, then comes Lysander and Helena.

This is the conversation translated to modern English:

Demetrius:  Lysander, keep your Hermia. I don’t want her. If I ever loved her, all that love is gone now. My love for her was temporary. Now I’ll love Helena forever.

Lysander: Helena, it is not true.

Demetrius: Don’t insult a deep love that you don’t understand, or you’ll pay the price. Look, here comes the woman you love.

Hermia enters

This rhyming verses´ conversation is about how volatile love can be, as one day you feel you are in-love and the next moment you are loving someone else.
