Which lines from the Doctor's speech in the play Everyman show that Everyman has to make his last journey alone? Ye hearers, take it of worth, old and young, And forsake Pride, for he deceiveth you in the end. And remember Beauty, Five-Wits, Strength, and Discretion They all at the last do Everyman forsake, Save his Good Deeds there doth he take-- But beware, for and they be small,… For after death amends may no man make, For then mercy and pity doth him forsake. If his reckoning be not clear when he do come, God will say, "Ite maledicti in ignem eternum!"

This matter is wondrous precious, But the intent of it is more gracious, And sweet to bear away. The story saith,--Man, in the beginning, Look well, and take good heed to the ending, Be you never so gay! Ye think sin in the beginning full sweet, Which in the end causeth thy soul to weep, When the body lieth in clay. Here shall you see how Fellowship and Jollity, Both Strength, Pleasure, and Beauty, Will fade from thee as flower in May. For ye shall hear, how our heaven king Calleth Everyman to a general reckoning: Give audience, and hear what he doth say. holp it helps
I would say, "And forsake Pride, for he deceiveth you in the end."
