in Seville was he born, a pleasant city, famous for oranges and women, he who has not seen in will be much to pity
Don Juan, by George Byron

Does it mean that he who has not seen it will be pitied much, or that he will have to regret a lot because he has missed tons of entertainment?

You have to feel sorry for anyone who has not seen this beautiful city.

 

[constantinusphilo]

You have to feel sorry for anyone who has not seen this beautiful city.

So, the construction is similar to 'this is the book for you to read, he is the one to ask advice from, he is the one to pity, i.e., to be pitied.
