And in whatsoe’er that word is writ – Modernized Edition

And in whatsoe’er¹Whatsoever. that word²Love. is writ,
          it yields a silver sound;
But if that word I miss in it,
          methinks I want my ground.
 
Nothing so simple can be penn’d
          if it but treat of love,
But that it serveth in some sort,
          my sadness to remove.
