Wouldn't it be better to inline the text in a <div> element, like so:

   <div style="width: 10em; overflow: auto">
     Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit [...]
   </div>

Alternatively, you could use the <iframe> instead of <object> and  
<textarea> instead of <div>. I'd go with inlining the content instead of  
having it externally, though, since that would make it available for all  
UAs, including Google.
