The above lines are taken from a play written by William Shakespeare named "The Merchant of Venice".
These lines are from Act 1 Scene 2 of the play. In this scene, the heiress of Belmont, Portia talks about various princely suitors who had come to try their luck at the lottery of caskets to win Portia and marry her.
This lottery of caskets was devised by her father so that Portia could marry a perfect man.
In the lines given, Portia is talking about French lord, Monsieur Le Bon. He has many personalities and that's why Portia doesn't has any affection towards him.
