In Literary English we have the so-called "inversion". It is used for emphasizing the word/phrase that is put at the beginning of the sentence: normal order: We worship Thee. The pail, the milk and all came down. The king live long! The moon is in the sky. literary: Thee do we worship. Down came the pail, the milk and all. Long live the king! In the sky is the moon.

Hi from Germany! I'm always amazed how "German" those archaic forms sound. With Darth Vader it's vice versa: in German, the second person PLURAL is used - which was the polite form to address a person until 19th century. I wonder if there is any theory why our languages evolved in such different ways? Very interesting topic, thanks for your video

In russian we use also second person singlular pronoun for friends, relatives, in informal speach or in disrespectful attitude, and plural pronoun formally, politely to persons. First of all using plural pronoun to a singe person is politeness. In english now ppl use only plural pronoun to single person as if they are very polite and have respect to everone. In russia it would be very weird to address to one's own kid, spouse or closest friend in plural form of the pronoun.
