What abc2ly does is to define a lyrics context without notes:
\score
{
\context Lyrics
<
{ \lyrics "Was i so base, that I might not aspire" }
{ \lyrics "Unto those high joyes which she holds from me?" }
{ \lyrics "As they are high, so high is my desire:" }
{ \lyrics "If she this denie, what can granted be?" }
{ \lyrics "" }
{ \lyrics "If she will yeeld to that which " }
{ \lyrics "It is reasons will that love should be just." }
{ \lyrics "Deare make me happy still by granting this," }
{ \lyrics "Or cut off delayes if that I die must." }
{ \lyrics "" }
{ \lyrics "Better a thousand times to die," }
{ \lyrics "Then for to live thus still tormented:" }
{ \lyrics "Deare but remember it was I" }
{ \lyrics "Who for thy sake did die contented." }

\paper{}
}
Lily tends to print error messages like this:
programming error: Negative dist, setting to 1.0 PT (Continuing; cross thumbs)
programming error: Negative dist, setting to 1.0 PT (Continuing; cross thumbs)
programming error: Insane spring found. Setting to unit spring. (Continuing;
cross thumbs)

But she also prints the lyrics fine, so I haven't (yet) gone to the
trouble to take the extra lyrics out of my ABC file and put them in
the lilypond-book input file. The right answer in my case is to
figure out the underlay and print them with the music, anyway.
