No, it should not read "you and me" because it is not an appositive for
"us" but a direct address to the other, as in "You and I let us go."  "You
and I" is the subject of "let" if we put it in normal order.  Compare, for
example:  "Shall we let us go?"

=========================

"Let us go then, you and I,"

Shouldn't this read "you and me"?

Consider my "who" as either a typo or poetic license.
