That is not correct, it depends on the history.
You took Paul, so take me too.....or, so take me too.

So ist das nicht korrekt, es kommt auf die Vorgeschichte an.
Du hast Paul genommen, so nimm mich auch.....oder, so nimm auch mich.

You are correct. I think something may be lost in translation here for those who don't speak German, so I will clarify.

The "nimm mich" might be addressed to God, as in "take my life, God, so I can be reunited with my loved ones". 

Additionally, as you show, being embedded in a longer sentence allows for different word order to stress certain parts. The word order "Take quickly me also" is ungrammatical, but it becomes somewhat more plausible in your example: "You took Paul, so take quickly me also".

This still sounds weird in modern English, but it sounds a bit less weird already to me in Dutch (though still not optimal). There is a correlation between loss of tenses and stricter word order, so it is possible that word order in a Middle German dialect was still flexible enough to allow this.
