The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln was not meant to deliver the Gettysburg Address. That honour went to a man called Edward Everett, who spoke for two and a half hours. We don't remember a word of it. The rest of it was delivered exactly as was written. It's incredibly ornate, and Lincoln's plain style reinvents rhetoric on the day. You hear Cicero in Lincoln because you get this unbroken link from the American Republic all the way back to the Roman Republic.
