Thus poorly accompanied,this once great monarch was found by his ever-faithful servant the good earl of Kent,now transformed to Caius,who ever followed close at his side,though the king did not know him to be the earl; and be said,“Alas! sir,are you here? creatures that love night,love not such nights as these.This dreadful storm has driven the beasts to their hiding places.Man's nature cannot endure the affliction or the fear.”《李尔王》,莎士比亚故事集此处的be said为何用了被动形式,不应该是said吗?

and be said,“Alas! sir,are you here? creatures that love night,love not such nights as these.

网友能确定这里是 be said 吗?

be said 是动词原形(还是被动式),讲不通。我觉得应该是 he said。

and he said,“Alas! sir,are you here? creatures that love night,love not such nights as these.
