     Che si reca 'I bordon di palma cinto。 
     〃In regard to the word bourdon; why it has been applied to a pilgrim's 
staff; it is not easy to guess。        I believe; however that this name has been 
given to such sort of staves; because pilgrims usually travel and perform 
their  pilgrimages   on   foot;   their   staves   serving   them  instead   of   horses   or 
mules; then called bourdons and burdones; by writers in the middle ages。〃
