I would like to set a motto after the chapter title. While the title is set left-aligned the motto should be set left-aligned too, but the longest line of the motto should be aligned to the right outer border of the page:
The Title is Great
That is the subtitle if there is one
The Authors name
There was a young man of Quebec
Who was frozen in snow to his neck.
When asked: ‘Are you friz?’
He replied: ‘Yes, I is,
But we don’t call this cold in Quebec.
1. Maybe the section title
And last but not least the text of the essay and what else I do
not know...
This is a working example, but what I need to know is, how to set the whole 'block' with the poetry to the right border (that the longest verse hits it)?
