All MS versions recorded in CELM, except where otherwise stated, begin with the second stanza of the published version (viz. Aske me no more whether doth stray).
  For a plausible argument that this poem was actually written by William Strode, see Margaret Forey, Manuscript Evidence and the Author of Aske me no more: William Strode, not Thomas Carew, EMS, 12 (2005), 180-200. See also Scott Nixon, Aske me no more and the Manuscript Verse Miscellany, ELR, 29/1 (Winter 1999), 97-130, which edits and discusses MSS of this poem and also suggests that it may have been written by Strode.
