            <param name="text" value="Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this &#10;       continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the &#10;       proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in &#10;       a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so &#10;       conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great &#10;       battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that &#10;       field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives  &#10;       that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper  &#10;       that we should do this.  &#10;  &#10;       But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we &#10;       cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled &#10;       here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.  &#10;       The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it &#10;       can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to &#10;       be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here &#10;       have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated &#10;       to the great task remaining before us;that from these honored dead we &#10;       take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full &#10;       measure of devotion;that we here highly resolve that these dead shall &#10;       not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new  &#10;       birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people,  &#10;       for the people shall not perish from the earth."/>
