Concise Oxford Companion to Irish Literature, The, January, 2000 by ROBERT WELCH

Ó Donnchadha an Ghleanna, Séafraidh (?1620–1678), poet and chief of the O'Donoghues of Glenfesk near Killarney, Co. Kerry. He took part in the Irish attack on Tralee Castle in 1641, but managed to retain his estate through the Cromwellian period. Among the surviving poems ascribed to him is an unusual piece lamenting the death of a dog which had choked on a mouse.
