As your example shows, it's hard to maintain this word order in English, but yes kind of like that. "Have you tea? then drink it immediately" would be the closest without getting completely ungrammatical.

Hmm, this seems a bit different. Where's Helmut Winkler when you need him?

   

I don't know if the half line on top belongs with this sentence, but I guess it's a title. I would transcribe the first line of the third paragraph as follows:

"acht tag vor sant johane tag so nim die..."

--> eight days before st john's day, (then) take the...

Here, again if I'm not mistaken, the "so" links to the time expressed in the previous clause. So if confirmed by someone more capable, this would be another type of sentence to expect before "so nim".
