Nov 10, 2022 at 21:42 comment added A. Goodier @PeterShor Good question. Franklin writes in his variorum edition that he revised dating done earlier by Johnson, considering the kind of paper used for each fascicle (brand of paper, logos, watermarks, etc.) and changes in her handwriting over the decades. It is possible that his dating is wrong, and even if his dating is accurate, the poems may have been copied into a fascicle years after being written.
Nov 10, 2022 at 20:32 comment added Peter Shor This seems like a good reason for doubting Franklin's dating. What was his methodology for dating the poems?
