The text is continuous despite the pagination, which begins on the verso of D4 and ends on the recto of 2D5.
With MS notes in 17th-/18th-century hand on front and rear endpapers.
Irregularities in pagination: pages 181-182 misnumbered "179-180"; page 201 misnumbered "291"; page 206 misnumbered "296"; page 306 misnumbered "103"; page 332 misnumbered "132"; pagination on page 298 has been printed upside down (NB pagination differs from ESTC record for S090631).
STC record only one issue of the 1581 octavo (i.e. this copy), but there appears to be another issue (Cwn.219(2)).  The first two leaves of this other issue 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.
STC record only one edition of this work, but NLS have 2 editions.  The titlepages are laid out differently, have different patterned borders and the spelling differs in some words.  Leaf A2r is laid out differently; the music on A4v differs and there are numerous other differences in layout, text and spelling.
In this edition of the work (Hax.9) the title has 'withall', 'forth', 'alowed' and 'song'; the last line of the title reads "youth."  In the other NLS copy (Cwn.219(2)) the title has 'vvithall', 'foorth', 'allowed' and 'sung'; the last line of the title reads "of youth.".
