Wrap a text within only two lines inside div

I want to wrap a text within only two lines inside div of specific width. If text goes beyond the length of two lines then I want to show elipses. Is there a way to do that

Another simple and quick solution

.giveMeEllipsis {
   overflow: hidden;
   text-overflow: ellipsis;
   display: -webkit-box;
   -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
   -webkit-line-clamp: N; /* number of lines to show */
   line-height: X;        /* fallback */
   max-height: X*N;       /* fallback */
}
