Sorry for the late response. Poetry is a problem which caused me a lot of grief a few years ago. I'm sure there was a discussion in the forum then, and I and others developed some markup as shown on the attached text file - the CSS is first, of course, and the verse is the epigraph to chapter 18 of Daniel Deronda by George Eliot that I'm working on now.

I think one of the advantages of this system is that the lines break on a 6" reader, but are less like to break on a tablet or an iPad.

I'm interested in any refinements that might be suggested.
