Explanation:
"That shall be rack'd,even to the uttermost":
The line is from the story ‘The Merchant of Venice’ written by William Shakespeare. The line is the conversation between Bassanio and Antonio. The line ‘that shall be rack’d, even to the uttermost’ is said by Antonio. There was a rich and fair lady in Belmont named Portia who was the daughter of Cato.
She used to speak with her eyes to deliver messages. He was fair, fairer than the word itself. Many jasons were in search of her. Bassanio said that one should be fortunate enough to reach her.
Antonio replied saying he had neither money nor commodity to reach her. He said even to the uttermost people, it is difficult to reach her.
