This scene takes place right after the ending of “Everyman”.

Doctor: And behold! What is this our Lord of mercy intends?

Permitting us to spy how Everyman transcends!

He doth allow in a manner most merry

Us to witness the Judgment of the quarry.

[Enter God and Everyman]

God: What incurable scum is this,

Resting at the feet of my righteous rod?

I hath no time for this serpent’s hiss!

Be gone with thee and your earthly façade,

There is no seat for you in this celestial squad!

Everyman: What infallibility have you spied,

My most gracious and ever-loving Lord and Guide?

My will in this life was ye to serve,

Your teachings to follow and readily observe.

Now I am at your mercy and command

I beseech ye forsaketh me not to that cursed land!

God: I perceive it impossible to decide

Another path for you, creature of gluttonous pride!

Thrice the time hath ye denied my name

In your sinful ways of wrath and lechery.

I see no correctable way this wronging to tame,

Your acts are the worst kind of perfidious treachery.

Everyman: I beseech thee mine Lord, ever so high!

Forgive me my trespasses, however awry!

I hath you in greatest form acclaimed,

Worshipped and praised and proclaimed!

God: Your intelligence insults my holy mind,

Your soul is weary and ill-comprised.

I bid thee, at once leave my sight

Before I spit up my dinner of tonight.

Woe is your soul forever doomed,

To Hell you are sent, for eternity entombed!

Everyman: But Good Deeds is here for me to attest –

God: Shut ye mouth, damnable pest,

Let the fires of eternity consume you now!

They will feast on your flesh, so nigh I do vow!

[Everyman is sent to flaming pit of Hell]
