I think that it is a couplet, possibly even a (slanted) rhyming couplet, because there seems to be two segments divided by the comma after proved.

This is definitely a couplet (two lines, rhyming) and really should be written:
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor man ever loved.
If I'm not mistaken, it's from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream.

From: Shakespeare, last 2 lines of Sonnet 116.

I believe it's a quatrain since there are four sections, five syllables each. I'm guessing the line breaks aren't copied exactly, though.
