What about something like,

<verse sID=""/>
pcdata
<lg>
<l>pcdata</l>
<l>pcdata</l>
<verse eID=""/>
<verse sID=""/>
<l>pcdata</l>
<l>pcdata</l>
<verse eID=""/>
</lg>

The same situation occurs with lists/tables that include an introduction 
plus the first part of the list/table in the first verse with subsequent 
parts in other verses.
