Which two sets of 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!"

AP:

Two sets, based on the scheme of this poem, means four lines... The lines which indicate Everyman will take this journey alone are those that mention desertion and abandonment: •"And remember Beauty, Five-Wits, Strength, and Discretion They all at the last do Everyman forsake," and •"For after death amends may no man make, For then mercy and pity doth him forsake." In the first set of lines [above], the narrator is expressing that all the worldly attributes/elements Everyman associated himself with in life (Beauty, Five-Wits, Strength, and Discretion) all "forsake" or abandon him on his journey to death. Similarly, in the second set of lines, the narrator articulates that Everyman can no longer "amend" or rectify his wrongs once he begins his last journey, and that "mercy and pity" will also abandon him and serve him no use. -Good Luck (:
