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?”

(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?
