Eochaidh Ó hÉoghusa (1567–1617) was a well-known Irish poet.[1][2]

Native of Ulster, mainly employed by the Maguire chiefs of Fermanagh. Among his other works are several poems included in the Leabhar Branach, a compendium of poems mostly by Gaelic poets of Leinster,[3] dedicated to the O'Byrne chiefs of Wicklow who "by their success in maintaining the independence and integrity of their mountainous territory against great odds until the final collapse, they were in a position to attract poets of repute from distant parts of Ireland."[4]

Some of his compositions include:

  • An tú ar gcéadaithne, a charrag?
  • A-tám i gcás eidir dhá chomhairle
  • Bíodh aire ag Ultaibh ar Aodh
  • Dealg athálaidh othras Taidhg
  • Fód codarsna críoch Bhanbha
  • Fúar liom an adhaighsi dh'Aodh
  • Ionmholta malairt bhisigh
