Sforno on Genesis 29:11/ספורנו על בראשית כ״ט:י״א

אוַיִּשָּׂא אֶת קוֹלוֹ וַיֵּבְךְּ. עַל שֶׁלֹּא זָכָה לָשֵׂאת אוֹתָהּ בִּנְעוּרָיו, וְהָיוּ לוֹ לְעֵת כָּזֹאת בְּנֵי נְעוּרִים.
1And cried in a loud voice. He was pained that he did not merit marrying her in his youth so that by now he would have had grown up children.
