One of the poems has two verses, each with quite short lines. Each of the verses starts with a big drop cap which is the same height as three lines. So far as I know so far each of the three lines next to the initial drop cap must have the same words in the ebook as in the print book. That is, the text can't simply flow around the drop cap.

I assume with "verses" you mean groups of lines (what I'd call "stanza") and not a line (what I'd call "verse"). Can you show an example, or a mock-up?
If you want to force the layout in a fixed-format-like manner, I'd simply use "white-space: nowrap".
