Answer:

"Demetrius, I'll avouch it to his head, Made love to Nedar's daughter, Helena".

Explanation:

The comedies written by William Shakespeare revolve around love and relevant obstacles, as do many Renaissance plays. In reading Midsummer Night's Dream, the main storyline is derived from Hermia and Lysander's attempts to stay together and overcome their blocking figure. The problem is that Hernia was promised marriage to Demetrius.

Demetrius is not a good suitor for Hernia, she does not love him and they do not form a compatible couple. The line in the excerpt that show Lysandre is a better suitor for Hernia is: "Demetrius, I'll avouch it to his head, Made love to Nedar's daughter, Helena".
