The use of transclusion by section on Wikisource would make it 
technically simple to bring the existing verses (or chapters) together 
on pages for parallel reading. Of course it would be a lot of work ... 
and I suppose it should be done chapter-wise. (Verses are at best a 
convenience - chapter divisions have I think a wider acceptance, and are 
at least historically older.)
