Q:3/8=90
N:Bar 8 1 quaver short, middle group says de/=B in MS. Edited to add up.
N:The instruction to play each strain twice over doesn't make sense as there is only one strain
N:The natural break comes in the crotchet f last but one note in bar 6, but adding double bar lines - and time bars here, and possibly changing the f to d on the first time, would be an editorial intervention too far IMO.
