This line is from the Induction of Taming of the Shrew. The Lord has just come upon the drunken Sly lying passed out in the gutter, where we have just seen him collapse after staggering out of the pub. Monstrous="like a monster". Beast=animal. Swine=pig. The Lord is saying Sly is an animal like a monster who lies in the gutter like a pig.

The Lord is trying to paint Christopher Sly as deserving of the Pirate trick that he intends to "practise", so he attacks him with theatrical rage and revulsion to turn the audience against him.
