Mercutio calls Tybalt (or is it the other way 'round?) King of Cats, the
latter word of which is a corruption of the Italian slang for penis.
Not surprisingly, my Italian dictionary doesn't give me the correct
spelling of the word "cazzo" (which, pronounced, sounds enough like
"gatto" to allow the sly "corruption").

Gordon Williams, A Glossary of Shakespeare's Sexual Language, gives
several references for "cock" and speculates on the origin of the
identification of the penis with a cock.
