YOU, pron. Yu. You has been considered as in the plural only, and is so treated in the Saxon grammar.

Yourself is in the singular number.
1. The pronoun of the second person, in the nominative or objective case. In familiar language, it is applied to an individual, as thou is in the solemn style. In the plural, it is used in the solemn style in the objective case.
In vain you tell your parting lover, you wish fair winds may waft him over.
He that despiseth you, despiseth me. Luke 10.

"Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read" —Isaiah 34:16, KJV
