Read the given extracts and answer the questions that follow:

“His horsemen hard behind us ride;
Should they our steps discover,
Then who will cheer my bonny bride
When they have slain her lover?”

Paraphrase: Lord Ullin’s horsemen are closely pursuing them. If they discover their steps, they will kill the lover of this lady. After they kill him there will be no one to cheer his beautiful and fascinating bride.

(a) Whose horsemen are they?

(b) How could they reach the chieftain and his beloved?

(c) What would be the fate of the bonny bride?
