Bess in the poem The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes was an inn keeper's daughter who loved the highway robber. She sacrificed her life to save her lover who anyway after her death did not wish to live. Knowing that the highwayman would come for her in the dead of the night, cops tied her to a loaded gun and waited. When she heard the horse hoof beats of her lover approaching, she fired this gun tied to her body to warn him of the danger awaiting him. Hearing the shot and her scream, he did not flee but came straight forward to be shot by the cops awaiting him in the dark. Thus Bess became a symbol of bold immortal love and sacrifice.
Tim the Ostler is described as being loyal, compassionate, and brave in the poem "The Highwayman." He risks his life to warn the highwayman about the soldiers' trap and ultimately sacrifices himself to save the highwayman's life.
