What does Shakespeare mean by O monstrous beast how like a swine he lies?

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.

He didn't. He used the phrase "hearts of men" three times: in Merchant of Venice, Richard II and Timon of Athens, and in none of these cases did the word "lies" precede it. You are probably thinking of "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows . . . HA HA HA HA HA . . ." But that was the Shadow radio show from the 1930s and 1940s. Shakespeare did not write for that.
