Thanks again for the suggestions. But my main concern is still to have lines of poetry break in a standard way if they are too long for the ereader screen. And most poetry written in the days of print books does not fit on a 6" reader screen without the lines breaking.
Most of the epigraphs in George Eliot's books are poetry, and most of her books have epigraphs. So I have decided to give up trying to make the epigraphs in the ebooks identical to the corresponding epigraph in the print book, and have decided to just lay them out as verses.
That may be naughty of me since the result is not identical in layout to the original. But the result is not going to be identical to the original anyway, since many of the lines of poetry cannot be fitted on to a 6" reader without breaking.
