Here are all of the speeches where dotant shows up across the corpus:

Coriolanus

Then you should hate Rome as he does .
Can you , when you have pushed out your gates the
very defender of them , and , in a violent popular
ignorance given your enemy your shield , think to
front his revenges with the easy groans of old
women , the virginal palms of your daughters , or
with the palsied intercession of such a decayed
dotant as you seem to be ? Can you think to blow
out the intended fire your city is ready to flame in
with such weak breath as this ? No , you are deceived .
Therefore , back to Rome and prepare for
your execution . You are condemned . Our general
has sworn you out of reprieve and pardon .
