Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
 in Chromaphonoglyphics (CPG)
 
Fourscore and   seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon

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

battelfield of that war. We have come to dedicate a

portion of it, as a final resting place for those

who died here, that the nation night live. This we

may, in all propriety do.          

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 hallowed it far above

our poor power to add or detract. The world will

little note, nor long remember what we say here; while

it can never forget what they did here.    

It is rather for us the living 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 here gave the last full measure of

devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall

not have died in vain; that this nation shall have

a new birth of freedom, and that government of the

poeple, by the poeple, for the poeple, shall not perish

from the earth.
