Biography
Biography
A third poem - Cia re ccuirfinn sed suirghe - in praise of Manus mac Aodh Dubh Ó Domhnaill is ascribed to him. It consists of twenty stanzas, which won him the gift of a mare for each stanza from Ó Domhnaill. He appears to be the same man that Captain Francis O'Neill, apparently incorrectly, associates with Geoffrey Keating (c.1569-1643). O'Neill attributes the following verses to Keating, concerning Ó Cobhthaigh: Who is the artist by whom the cruit is player? Who is it that plays the enchanting music that dispels all the ills that man is heir to? Tadhg O’Cobthaigh of beauteous form, - The chief-beguiler of women, The intelligent concordance of all difficult tunes, The thrills of music and of harmony.
