Would this Shakespeare quote work in reference to ruthless debt collection?

“These griefs and losses have so bated me, that I shall hardly spare a pound of flesh to-morrow to my bloody creditor. Pray God, Bassanio come to see me pay his debt, and then I care not! ”
This quote comes from the play “Merchant of Venice”.
A friend of mine thought this quote might help me illustrate a point I am making about ruthless debt collection. I do understand the “pound of flesh” reference and the plot-line of the play. However, I have a bit of trouble understanding the old English. So, I thought I’d check in with others who more readily understand this type of writing.
Is this particular quote a good illustration of ruthless debt collection? Or of the pain one feels as a result of ruthless debt collection?
