Explanation:

The passage shows Prince Henry's royal status and Poins' ordinary - ness. It also contrasts Prince Henry's poor life choices with Poins' acceptance of his life. There is no indication that Poins is devoted to his father while Henry is not, nor that Henry knows a lot about Poins and vice - versa.

Answer:

Prince Henry is royally, while Poins is an ordinary person.
Poins has made foolish choices in life, while Prince Henry has made wise choices.
