Maybe something like this (sorry, I do not know how
to force \begin {tabular} to create the equivalent
of an \halign to \hsize {}) --
\documentclass {minimal}
\begin {document}
\begin {tabular}{ r l l }
& \hbox to 0,6 \hsize {} & \\
Vim modus & tractatos suscipiantur at \dotfill & ius \\
cu homero nominati & mediocrem feugait nusquam per et \dotfill & sanctus \\
consulatu & concludaturque \dotfill & mei \\
Dicat legendos & concludaturque ne ius tale \dotfill & dicit \\
\end {tabular}
\end {document}
I'm sure a wizard could get the \dotfill into the preamble,
but LaTeX remains more-or-less impenetrable to me :-(
