Leaves A1-2 appear to be cancels from another unidentified edition.

The text is continuous despite the pagination, which begins on the verso of D4 and ends on the recto of 2D5.
MS notes in 16th-/17th-century hand on verso of title page.
Irregularities in pagination: page 76 misnumbered "70"; page 83 misnumbered "33"; page 93 misnumbered "39"; page 125 misnumbered "123"; page 139 misnumbered "119"; page 143 misnumbered "133"; page 186 misnumbered "180"; page 200 misnumbered "100"; page 202 misnumbered "222"; page 206 misnumbered "296"; page 228 misnumbered "128"; page 235 misnumbered "255"; page 318 misnumbered "218" (NB pagination differs from ESTC record for S090631).
STC record only one issue of the 1581 octavo (NLS copy Hax.9), but this appears to be another issue.  The first two leaves of this copy appear to be cancels: titlepages are laid out differently to STC 2459/ESTC S090631, have different patterned borders and the spelling differs in some words, layout of leaf A2r is different; moreover, the music on A4v differs and there are numerous other differences in layout, text and spelling, all of which suggests another 8vo issue by Daye in 1581.
In this edition of the work (Cwn.219(2)) the title has 'vvithall', 'foorth', 'allowed' and 'sung'; the last line of the title reads "of youth.".  In the other edition (Hax.9) the title has 'withall', 'forth', 'alowed' and 'song'; the last line of the title reads "youth."
