In Shakespeare's works, "lest" is a conjunction meaning "for fear that" or "to avoid the risk of." It is used to introduce a clause that expresses a precaution or potential negative consequence. For example, in the phrase "lest we forget," it implies taking action to prevent forgetting something important. The usage reflects a cautionary tone common in his poetry and plays.
