/*
The noble stone that is not found among us,
It matters not how fair, is straitly banned.
I need not say I've left a place for such
As are unearthed in the next hundred years.
Now do you follow?
 
(<i>To</i> <sc>Gyges</sc>.)      That one fitly suits
Some massive giant-skull such as your sculptors
Are wont to give my forebear for a head-piece,
When in his lion-skin, with bulky club,
Towering above a streamlet's mossy rim,
You make him useful as a children's bogy.

Inline stage directions (line start)

These stage directions have to be in the no-wrap block because dialogue is on the same line. Dialogue has to be aligned with the end of the previous line of dialogue. Do that before adding any inline markup, and when doing so, account for the way markups will appear in plain text: one underscore on each side for italics and no markups, just all uppercase, for small caps: _To_ GYGES.
