Answers
The expression 'he makes a swanlike end' means that the choice that Bassanio will make will determine the course of their relationship.
Explanation:
"The Merchant of Venice" is a play written by William Shakespeare.
In Act 3, Scene 2, Portia makes this statement over Bassanio's decision of making choice of the correct casket, in which Portia will be locked.
Portia says that if Bassanio fails to choose the correct casket, then he will make their relationship as a swanlike end.
It is believed that swans sing only when they are near their deaths and they would sing enchantigly at that time.
So, Portia is using this allusion to express that if Bassanio fails to make the correct choice of the casket their relationship will end as swanlike end.
