Read the given extracts and answer the questions that follow:

And fast before her father’s men
Three days we’ve fled together,
For should he find us in the glen,
My blood would stain the heather.

(a) Who was her father?

(b) What did the chieftain want the boatman to do?

(c) What did the chieftain fear?
