Wrap a text within only two lines inside div

Question

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

Try something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/6jdj3pcL/1/

Here is a paragraph with a lot of text ...

p {
    line-height: 1.5em;
    height: 3em;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 300px;
}

p::before {
   content: '...';
   float: right;
   margin-top: 1.5em;
}
