Context clues are any words or phrases that help us figure out the meaning or connotation of other words or phrases in the same context. Here, we need to understand the meaning of "lily of a man."
The context clues used for that is "A coward I am not," the phrase that comes immediately before "lily of a man." Since both phrases complete each other, we can assume they have similar meanings.
