The following is a list of 1798 rebellion type sigs that I've been using in my mail files for the last few months, which I've decided to archive here. Enjoy.

With brave Harvey to lead on the van;
But foremost of all in the grim gap of death

I should just explain that I only used a pointer to the following and not the whole text, but for clarity here's what the pointer pointed to.
"O! Breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
Where cold and unhonoured his relics are laid,
Sad, silent and dark be the tears that we shed,
As the night due that falls on the grass o'er his head.
But the night due that falls, though in silence it weeps,
Shall brighten with verdure, the grave where he sleeps,
And the tear that we shed, though in secret it rolls,
Shall long keep his memory green in our souls."
- by Thomas Moore.--------
"My occupation is now of the most unplesant nature, negotiating and jobbing with the most corrupt people under Heaven. I despise and hate myself every hour."

"An independant country was thus degraded into a province, Ireland, as a notion, was extinguished."
