Hi, this is from The Noble Spanish Soldier written by Thomas Dekker.
Rise my good angel,
Whose holy tunes beat from me that evil spirit
Which jogs mine elbow, hence thou dog of hell.
I understood it as follows (if I am wrong, please correct me):
Rise, my good angel (protect me)
your holy singing rids me of evil
which leads my hand/nudges me ...
I don't understand the last part at all. I've checked that "hence" can mean "from a point" and "thou" should mean "you" but it doesn't make sense... Can you help?
