A remarkable story of a gentleman walking in his sleep, as
related by a foreigner. . . . [3 paragraphs]   He proceeded
thence to a pair of virginals, upon which he could play
pretty well, and made some jangling.  At last, after two
hours exercise, he returned [to bed] . . . His valet told us
there were but two ways to recover him out of theses fits;
one was to tickle him strongly upon the soles of his feet,
the other, to sound a horn or trumpet at his ears.
