[Santiagobis] What to bring - Sir Walter Raleigh's packing list

[David planning Le Chemin de St Jacques/El Camino de Santiago]

> "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?
