Maybe the last men to show regrets (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

laments

'regrets' is the definition.
('lament' can be a synonym of 'regret')

'maybe the last men' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'last'+'men'='lastmen'
'lastmen' with letters rearranged gives 'LAMENTS'.

'to show' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for laments that I've seen before include "Bemoans" , "complaints" , "Mourns" , "Sad songs" , "elegies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
