Thank you for looking and putting my mind at ease Viviena
Older forms of English (including early modern) used to use a form of "to be" instead of "to have" for the perfect of intransitive verbs of motion. This is the standard form in the King James Bible, for example:

Quote:
Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
That was present perfect; for past perfect, you get, predictably:

Quote:
And when the seventh month was come , and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
