original construction was that of the dative with forms of
be, followed by the infinitive. See Had better, under

[1913 Webster]
Note: Have, as an auxiliary verb, is used with the past
participle to form preterit tenses; as, I have loved; I
shall have eaten. Originally it was used only with the
participle of transitive verbs, and denoted the
possession of the object in the state indicated by the
participle; as, I have conquered him, I have or hold
him in a conquered state; but it has long since lost
this independent significance, and is used with the
participles both of transitive and intransitive verbs
as a device for expressing past time. Had is used,
especially in poetry, for would have or should have.
[1913 Webster]
Myself for such a face had boldly died.
--Tennyson.
[1913 Webster]
