Explanation:

- The original sentence uses the word "lest" and follows it with "you should regret." This is grammatically correct as "lest" is used to prevent something undesirable.

- Option 1: "lest you shall not regret" is incorrect. "Shall not" contradicts the purpose of "lest," which is to prevent a negative outcome.

- Option 2: "No substitution" means the original sentence is correct as is.

- Option 3: "lest you would regret" is incorrect. "Would" does not work properly with "lest" as it suggests a hypothetical situation rather than prevention.

- Option 4: "lest you should not regret" is incorrect as it negates the intended caution.

The correct choice is Option 2 - No substitution.
