22 Jul 1773:12, 13 (376 Supplement)
London, May 4. . . A correspondent has sent us the following
as a fact:  Last Sunday afternoon the clerk of a certain
chapel not an hundred miles from John street, Bedford Row,
after making too free with the juice of the all potent grape
at dinner, and being rather fatigued from the vocations of
his profession the preceding evening, fell asleep during the
sermon, and did not awake till the organ was playing the
last voluntary.  The sound of the organ, it is supposed,
rather disturbed him, and he, being probably in a dream,
began singing, Ye Warwickshire Lads and ye Lasses.
