“To be flighted to death” and “I was never so beaten’”

[Walt Whitman]

From ''Wuthering Heights'' by Emily Brontë (chapter 4 original text)

— And at the end of it, to be flighted to death! — he said, opening his great-coat, which he held bundled up in his arms, — See here, wife; I was never so beaten’ with anything in my life; but you must e’en take it as a gift of God; though it’s as dark almost as if it came from the devil. [Mr Earnshaw speaking]

Context: Mr Earnshaw, the owner of Wuthering Heights, leaves for Liverpool on a business trip. He comes back three days later with something wrapped in his coat: it is young Heathcliff, found in the streets of Liverpool. Mr Earnshaw is exhausted: the journey was sixty miles there, sixty miles back and he had travelled on foot the whole way.

Could someone rewrite the underlined parts?

Thank you

And at the end of it, to be flighted to death!

I think he means something like "And at the end of it, to be so exhausted I feel I'm almost dead!"

I was never so beaten’ with anything in my life;

I've never faced as much difficulty as I faced with this. (He's referring to Heathcliff. This is probably a bit of an exaggeration of course.)
