Namely: If I try to use it in a \documentclass{memoir} then any attempt at \poemlines{5} results in "undefined control sequence" in XeTeX (and also in plain LaTeX), even though the rest of it appears to work OK to at least some extent. However if I use \documentclass{article} all is fixed.

Memoir has its own verse class with syntax a bit different from the verse package. Instead of \poemlines{5}, in memoir you use

\linenumberfrequency{5}
