I can help with Mendelssohn's "Ye Have Taken Away my Lord", because I'm
working on this with my adored mother-in-law. I have it in two editions:

Sacred Duets Vol. 1 for two high voices ed. (improbably) by William
Shakespeare, pub. John Church Company (Theodore Presser) (Key of e minor)

and also:

48 Duets 17th through 19th centuries arranged for medium voices by Victor
Prahl, pub. E.C. Schirmer Cat. no. 156 (Key of d minor)

It is a beautiful, haunting duet.

(snip)Don't know the original text, but a gorgeous, very impassioned duet
for 1st and 2nd soprano by Mendelssohn is translated as "I waited for the
Lord, He
inclined unto me!" (snip)
(As a matter of fact, if you find it, I would love to hear back from you
exactly where it comes from.)
