The explanation has been stated below.

Explanation:

The above line has been said by Bassanio in the play "The Merchant of Venice". Bassanio pleads to the Duke to take a decision that would be considered a little wrong but would be a great and right decision. The context here is about the money which Shylock had lend Bassanio under the name of Antonio. As Antonio was not able to pay him on time, therefore as per the contract, Shylock wanted Antonio's flesh. To save Antonio from death, Bassanio pleads the Duke to make a decision going beyond the law which would be wrong but would be right.
