THE PROGRESS OF BALLOONS /* "<i>Perdomita tellus, tumida cesserunt freta,</i> "<i>Inferna nostros regna sensere impetus;</i> "<i>Immune cúlum est, degnus AlcidÊ labor,</i> "<i>In alta mundi spatia sublimes feremur.</i>" --<i>Senec. Herc. Furens.</i> */ /* Assist me, ye muses, (whose harps are in tune) To tell of the flight of the gallant balloon! */
Quotation marks
The Proofing Guidelines tell us to retain quotation marks on each line of poetry. This quotation is from a Metrical Play by Seneca, so that Guideline applies. Quotation marks go outside the markups, so italics must close/re-open on each line. Punctuation is part of the poem, so it goes inside markups.
Attributions
If there were no quotation marks, the entire poem would be in one set of markups, but the attribution still would need its own markup, with the em-dash outside. Attribution can go in same no-wrap as poem, and should be left-justified.
Thought breaks
The horizontal rule above the title is decorative, not a thought break.
