Four score and seven years ago |
| [00:22.45] |
our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, |
| [00:27.40] |
conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. |
| [00:36.38] |
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, |
| [00:40.75] |
testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. |
| [00:50.65] |
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 |
| [01:02.22] |
for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. |
| [01:13.80] |
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. |
| [01:25.80] |
The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. |
| [01:37.10] |
The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. |
| [01:48.52] |
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. |
| [02:01.58] |
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 |
| [02:20.52] |
-- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, |
| [02:33.44] |
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. |
