Fourscore and seven years ago
|
our fathers brought forth on this continent
|
|
|
a new nation
|
conceived in liberty
|
|
|
and dedicated to the proposition
|
that all men are created equal.
|
|
|
Now we are engaged in a great civil war,
|
testing whether that nation/ or any nation so conceived/ and so dedicated can long endure
|
|
|
We are met on a great battlefield of that war
|
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field/ as a final resting-place for those
|
|
|
who here gave their lives that that nation might live
|
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
|
|
|
But, in a larger sense
|
we cannot dedicate
|
|
|
we cannot consecrate
|
we cannot hallow this ground
|
|
|
The brave men
|
living and dead
|
|
|
who struggled here have consecrated it
|
far above our poor power to add or detract
|
|
|
The world will little note
|
nor long remember what we say here
|
|
|
but it can never forget what they did here
|
It is for us the living
|
|
|
rather to be dedicated here
|
to the unfinished work
|
|
|
which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced/ It is rather for us to be here
|
dedicated to the great task remaining before us
|
|
|
that from these honored dead /we take increased devotion to that cause
|
for which they gave the last full measure of devotion
|
|
|
that we here highly resolve
|
that these dead shall not have died in vain
|
|
|
that this nation under God
|
have a new birth of freedom
|
|
|
and that government of the people
|
by the people
|
|
|
for the people
|
shall not perish from the earth.
