Probably by doing a lot of maths in your head :-(
There are no features to do it for you

You can rotate around a known point by doing this...

canvas.translate(new_x, new_y)
canvas.rotate(angle)
canvas.translate(-new_x, -new_y)


I think your best chance is to define a small flowable object which does 
a rotation at the beginning of its draw method, then draws the needed 
string.
