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 - 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] - and that government of the people, by the people, for the
people, shall [not perish from the earth].
