css styles elements or pseudo-elements, not text lines. need modify html or use js.
for example, can text, split lines, , wrap each 1 inside list item of ordered list.
the, can use css counter associate each line number, :nth-child select each 5n-th line, , pseudo-element insert counter. align numbers properly, can use css tables.
var old = document.getelementbyid('poem'), poem = document.createelement('ol'); poem.id = 'poem'; old.textcontent.split('\n').foreach(function(line) { var li = document.createelement('li'); li.textcontent = line; poem.appendchild(li); }); old.parentnode.replacechild(poem, old);body {padding: 10% 25%;} #poem { font-family: "times new roman"; display: table; padding: 0; counter-reset: line; } #poem > li { display: table-row; white-space: pre; counter-increment: line; } #poem > li:nth-child(5n+1):after { content: counter(line); display: table-cell; text-align: right; color: #aaa; cursor: default; }<h3>beowulf</h3><br> <pre id="poem">now beowulf bode in burg of scyldings, leader beloved, , long ruled in fame folk, since father had gone away world, till awoke heir, haughty healfdene, held through life, sage , sturdy, scyldings glad. then, 1 after one, there woke him, chieftain of clansmen, children four: heorogar, hrothgar, halga brave; , heard -- -- 's queen, heathoscylfing's helpmate dear. hrothgar given such glory of war, such honor of combat, kin obeyed him gladly till great grew band of youthful comrades. came in mind bid henchmen hall uprear, ia master mead-house, mightier far ever seen sons of earth, , within it, then, old , young allot lord had sent him, save land , lives of men. wide, heard, work commanded, many tribe mid-earth round, fashion folkstead. fell, ordered, in rapid achievement ready stood there, of halls noblest: heorot named message had might in many land. not reckless of promise, rings dealt, treasure @ banquet: there towered hall, high, gabled wide, hot surge waiting of furious flame. nor far day when father , son-in-law stood in feud warfare , hatred woke again.
