"Thureth" (Þūreð, [ˈθuːreð]) is the editorial name given to an eleven-line Old English poem preserved only on folio 31v of British Library MS Cotton Claudius A. III, at the beginning of the text known as 'Claudius Pontifical I'.
Ic eom halgungboc; healde hine dryhten þe me fægere þus frætewum belegde.
Þureð to þance þus het me wyrcean, to loue and to wurðe, þam þe leoht gesceop.
Gemyndi is he mihta gehwylcre þæs þe he on foldan gefremian mæg, and him geþancie þeoda waldend þæs þe he on gemynde madma manega wyle gemearcian metode to lace; and he sceal ece lean ealle findan þæs þe he on foldan fremaþ to ryhte.
Thureth gratefully ordered me to be made in this way in praise and in honour of Him who created the light.
