3 And, to the prince bowing with reverence due, 4 As to the patron of his life, thus said:
patron > protector, defender; also: exemplar, model
5 "My lord, my liege, by whose most gracious aid
liege > {Lord to whom one owes feudal allegiance and service}
6 I live this day, and see my foes subdued, 7 What may suffice, to be for meed repaid
meed > reward
8 Of so great graces as you have me shown,
Of so > For such graces > favours
9 But to be ever bound -"
