@oristarA,
It means to cause mental and or emotional pain; distress.
Here's the fuller quote:
BRUTUS
All this! ay, more: fret till your proud heart break;
Go show your slaves how choleric you are,
And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge?
Must I observe you? must I stand and crouch
Under your testy humour? By the gods
You shall digest the venom of your spleen,
Though it do split you; for, from this day forth,
I'll use you for my mirth, yea, for my laughter,
When you are waspish.
Cholericness or iracibility was thought to have to do with the spleen, hence the word "splenetic."
