What is the meaning of these lines?
(in your own words)
What do these lines inspire listeners to 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 consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.    
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.    
...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.
