Gettysburg Address in SoundSpel
Foerscor and seven yeers ago our
faathers braut forth, on this
continent, a nue naeshon, conseevd in
liberty and dedicaeted to th propozishon that all men ar creaeted eeqal.
Now we ar engaejd in a graet sivil wor, testing whether that
naeshon, or eny naeshon so conseevd, and so dedicaeted, can long enduur. We ar met on a graet batl-feeld in
that wor. We hav cum to dedicaet a porshon of that feeld, as a fienal resting-plaess for thoes hoo heer gaev thaer lievs, that that naeshon miet liv. It is aultogether fiting and proper that we shuud do this.
But in
a larjer senss we cannot dedicaet, we cannot consecraet, we cannot halo
this ground. Th braev men, living and ded, hoo strugld heer, hav
consecraeted it far abuv our puur
power to ad or detrakt. Th wurld
wil litl noet, nor long remember,
whot we say heer, but it can never forget whot thae did heer. It is for
us th living, rather, to be
dedicaeted to th graet task remaening befor us that from thees onord
ded we taek increest devoeshon to
that cauz for which thae gaev th
last fuul mezher of devoeshon - that
we heer hiely rezolv that thees
ded shal not hav died in vaen,
that this naeshon, under God, shal
hav a nue burth of freedom, and that guvernment of th peepl, bi th
peepl, for th peepl, shal not
perrish frum th urth.
