Tradtional Poetry/Lyric Presentation

[cui ruide]

So I know the presentation of written Chinese has changed over the ages, right-to-left/left-to-write; vertical to horizontal, etc. And I'm sure poetry has its own rules...

Getting to the point, I want to know the traditional way to present a Song Dynasty lyrics of Xin Qiji called "Chou Nu'er" (to the tune "Ugly Slavegirl"). You can see the poem here: http://www.chinapage.org/xin2n.html

I assume it should be written vertical, top-to-bottom, starting on the right moving left? But where should I break the lines? Notice that there is a repeating refrain in the middle of both "stanzas"? Or traditionally would none of this matter much?

So no breaks between characters, but when do new columns begin?

Thanks Skylee for the attached file.
