How to chop a text adding three dots "..."?

I need to chop a text adding tree dots at the end "..." the three dots should appear only on the second line of the text. This jsfiddler show the example for one line, but I not able to display two lines of text before adding dots. Any idea how to solve it?

http://jsfiddle.net/hT3YA/263/

#test { 
    background:#eee; 
    border:1px dotted #ccc; 
    margin:1em; 
    padding:5px; 
    width:100px;
    height:200px;
}
.crop { 
    overflow:hidden; 
    white-space:nowrap;
    text-overflow:ellipsis; 
    width:200px; }



<div id="test" class="crop">
    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged
