Behold, there stand the caskets, noble prince
If you choose that wherein I am contain'd,
Straight shall our nuptial rites be solemnized
But if you fail, without more speech, my lord,
You must be gone from hence immediately.

Answer:
In the lines, Portia tells the Prince of Morocco to carefully choose the correct casket. If he does then he would be married to Portia, else he would have to leave immediately.
Explanation:
The lines are from the play The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. In this subplot, as per the will of her father, Portia is to be married to the person who chooses the correct casket of gold, silver, and lead which shall have Portia's picture in it. If the bachelor fails to choose the correct casket containing Portia's portrait, he is to remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.
The lines are narrated by Portia to the Prince of Morocco whose turn is now to choose the correct casket. She warns him that he is to choose the correct casket containing her portrait, or else he would have to leave Venice immediately.
