Non so che di me fia.

Servir= sempre, chT per ben servire
acquistar desio onore.
E perchT tardi quel che de' gradire
spero dal mio signore
virtute e cortesia.

Translation

I do not know what will happen to me.

I shall always serve, since, in order to serve well
I wish to acqire honour.
And, though he who must reward my service be late.
I hope my lord will grant me
virtue and courtesy.
