As you can see from my attached example, the persona is included as a

I also need to set \poemcolsep to -1em to close the 'phantom' gap. I
hope that makes sense.
Well, the problem is that it's not a pretty workaround and the beginning
of the first hemistich of each line doesn't line up, because personae
are of different lengths. I suppose I need some means of marking up each
line as having
persona: first-hemistich& second-hemistich
OK. I think \llap is useful here to give the personae and there phantom
versions zero width aligned right.
That's what I would have said. I consider \llap probably one of the more
useful macros in TeX.
Note that if you still want personae flushed left, you can use:
\def\persona#1{%
\quitvmode\llap{\hbox to <some length>{#1\hfil}}%
}
with <some length> wide enough to accommodate all names.
