No te lo pido dado

I do not ask you for....?

Dado:....a pair of dice? past participle of dar?

This is from a prayer to Santa Elena (for context).

I am very confused as to what dado means because I've looked it up and it has various meanings. Thank you.

The entire sentence is: No te lo pido dado sino prestado para clavarselo a mi amor.

No te lo pido dado sino prestado para clavarselo a mi amor...... I don´t ask you for it given but borrowed, to give it to the one I love. "Clavar" can have various meanings, so without more context, I can only provide a rough estimate with "give."
