[133]
ἤ, Latin an, ‘or perhaps,’ ‘is it that,’ introduces the second part of a double question, the first being implied and more or less indefinite. Most editors prefer “ἦ” (‘truly’) here. Pope gives the idea of the line thus:
“Shall I my prize resign
With tame content, and thou possess'd of thine?
”
