Attributons

The attribution ("Tennyson") raises two questions: 1) should it be moved to a separate line, preceded by a blank line, or remain on the same line as the verse, preceded by six spaces; and 2) if moved to a separate line, should it be enclosed in a separate pair of no-wraps or remain in the same no-wraps as the verse? If the Project Comments and Discussion do not provide guidance, it's best to ask what is preferred. Ignore a stanza's leading quotation mark when indenting its other lines. (Don't indent them by an extra space.) (This example also appears in the "Poetry" Category.)
