You cannot ...i least I think you can't ... you see, sed parses each
line independently once and only once, looking for certain patterns ..
this is what makes it so fast... so I believe that "the last line" is an
unknown entity to sed pattern recognizer (pun intended). (If I'm wrong
please correct me - it's been a while :S)
I would recommend editing it with VI (as shown below) or using AWK or
Perl.
Or .. you could always apply quotes to all the lines, and then edit out
the last one :P
In VI
:%s/^/\'/g
]]x
