Many thanks. I have some old plain-text (from Usenet, and years ago) that I'd like to share, but it's hundreds of lines long, so I'd prefer not to have to massage every line to preserve the formatting.

Ok, we should be good.

Beneath Blessington's eyes The reclaimed Paradise Should be free as the former from evil; But if the new Eve For an Apple should grieve, What mortal would not play the Devil.

-Lord Byron

Line breaks should be retained. Let me know if you find anything buggy with it.

You can still do the alternate as well:

  Beneath Blessington's eyes
  The reclaimed Paradise
  Should be free as the former from evil;
  But if the new Eve
  For an Apple should grieve,
  What mortal would not play the Devil.
  
  -Lord Byron
