Just and you in imperative sentence
Oh, to hell with your stars and constellations!” the three on the ground yelled, almost in unison. “Just come youdown"
This paragraph is from a fable. I can't decide the usage of "just", and "you". In my opinion, "just" means " to get attention for order " and "you" are used "for emphating anger".

"Just" means simply (do the thing that I ask), implying that nothing else is necessary/required, with a probable nuance here of impatience or annoyance. "come you down" is not standard modern English. Assuming it's not an error, it appears to be an archaism or poetic variation of "come down" or "you come down".
