Usage:
Homage,
Fealty. Homage was originally the act of a
feudal tenant by which he declared himself, on his
knees, to be the hommage or bondman of the lord; hence
the term is used to denote reverential submission or
respect. Fealty was originally the fidelity of such a
tenant to his lord, and hence the term denotes a
faithful and solemn adherence to the obligations we
owe to superior power or authority. We pay our homage
to men of pre["e]minent usefulness and virtue, and
profess our fealty to the principles by which they
have been guided.
[1913 Webster]
Go, go with homage yon proud victors meet !
Go, lie like dogs beneath your masters' feet !
