Placing “too” in a sentence
This too shall pass.
Would anyone help me to understand why in this common saying the "too" word is placed in the middle of the sentence? Referring to Wikipedia here.
This shall pass too.
Wouldn't it be more natural to place the "too" in the end of the clause, as it usually done?
Thank you!
