What’s “swich licour”?

And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;

And bathed every vein in such liquor,
Of which virtue engendered is the flower;

The words mean the same thing. They are only spelled differently.

"And bathed every vein in such liquor, Of which virtue engendered is the flower;"

How about "You don't buy beer, only rent it" ? Would that be rendered "Yo, don' Bieber, only rant at"?
