Answer:
The play is THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.
'It' refers to MERCY.
Gentle rain because showering someone with mercy is a very heavenly deed.
It is "blessed twice" coz it blesses the one who gets it and the one who bestows mercy is too benifitted as he has done a very soulful and a very heavenly deed for which he shall surely be awarded.
Hope u benifit from it.
