Use this model instead:

<div style="padding-left:2.5em;">
TEXT_HERE
</div>

From your source code:

<p style="margin-left:70px;"><em>What thou lovest well remains,</em></p>
<p style="margin-left:100px;"><em>The rest is dross</em></p>
<p style="margin-left:70px;"><em>What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee</em></p>

Nothing I do seems to get rid of the automatic line break while keeping the indent.

Next time: In the Visual Editor, use the little 'T' icon to paste as plain text, or use the 'W' icon to paste from MS Word, that strips off all the formatting.

Visual Editor: Instead of just pressing return at the end of each line, hold down the shift key and press return.
HTML Editor: type the line, press return, type next line, etc.

This is what it looks like so far:

Does anyone know if I can remove them, or is it part of the theme to always put them in?
