Poetry problem again?!

Well here is my new dilemma with poetry...

I have a chapter which has a centered, italic epigraph at the top of the main page; however, that epigraph also has a poem written in stanza form in it.

Is there a way to wrap the stanza that it retains the align left, but is also centered within the rest of the epigraph?

Been trying this:

<div class="epicenter">
<p class="verse">"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,</p>

<p class="verse2">because he has anointed me</p>

<p class="verse3">to bring good news to the poor.</p>
</div>

div.epicenter {
clear: both;
float: center;
font-style : italic;
margin-top: 1em;
line-height: 1.2em;
display: inline-block;
}

So far I'm stuck. Anyone have a clue how I can do this, or if I simply cannot let me know also.
