What to bring - Sir Walter Raleigh's packing list

[Joe English]

Dear All,
Recently on this, and others message boards, there has been much
discussion concerning what 'stuff' to bring. Quite accidentally I came
across the following quote from Sir Walter Raleigh ...

"Give me my scallop-shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation,
My gown of glory, hope’s true gage,
And thus I’ll take my pilgrimage."

-     Sir Walter Raleigh

Does anyone know the origins of this quotation?
