Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death.

Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death.

Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death.

Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death.

Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death.
