Reading Comprehension Question from the play Everyman (lines 22-79).

GOD: I perceive here in my majesty,

How that all the creatures be to me unkind,

Living without dread in worldly prosperity:

Of ghostly sight the people be so blind,

Drowned in sin, they know me not for their God;

In worldly riches is all their mind.

They fear not my righteousness, the sharp rod.

My law that I showed, when I for them died,

They forget clean, and shedding of my blood red;

I hanged between two, it cannot be denied;

To get them life I suffered to be dead;

I healed their feet, with thorns hurt was my head.

I could do no more than I did, truly;

And now I see the people do clean forsake me.

They use the seven deadly sins damnable,

As pride, covetise, wrath, and lechery

Now in the world be made commendable;

And thus they leave of angels the heavenly company.

Every man liveth so after his own pleasure,

And yet of their life they be nothing sure:

I see the more that I them forbear

The worse they be from year to year.

…

I hoped well that every man

In my glory should make his mansion,

And thereto I had them all elect;

But now I see, like traitors deject,

They thank me not for the pleasure that I to them meant,

Nor yet for their being that I them have lent;

I proffered the people great multitude of mercy,

And few there be that asketh it heartily;

They be so cumbered with worldly riches

That needs on them I must do justice,

On every man living without fear.

Where art thou, Death, thou mighty messenger?

[Enter Death]

DEATH: Almighty God, I am here at your will,

   Your commandment to fulfill.

GOD: Go thou to Everyman,

And show him, in my name,

A pilgrimage he must … take

…

And that he bring with him a sure reckoning

DEATH: Lord, I will in the world go run overall,

And cruelly outsearch both great and small;

Everyman will I beset that liveth beastly

Out of God’s laws, and dreadeth not folly.

He that loveth riches I will strike with my dart,

His sight to blind, and from heaven to depart--

Except that alms be his good friend--

In hell for to dwell, world without end
