Looking upon the picturesque little town and harbor
one might well feel with and join the native poetess in
the heartiness of her toast:

/*
'No stately monuments adorn thy coast;
No ancient abbey canst thou boast;
Yet I will pledge with heart and hand
Thy health forever, Newfoundland."[** Opens with single quote]
*/

As Halifax differs from all cities in the United States,
so does St. Johns differ from Halifax, but as Halifax

Poetry

It's poetry and we want to preserve the line breaks, so use no-wrap, not Block Quote. At least one line of a no-wrap block (such as a stanza of poetry) must be left-justified, and there's no indentation within this stanza, so left-justify all of these lines. We ignore the apparent indentation caused by the quotation mark on the first line of quoted poetry.
