Sobhito
From the Psalms (brackets and parenthesis are trans.):
A bhikkhu mindful, gifted with insight,
With strenuous effort strongly set to work,
Have I [the infinite past] recalled to mind:
Five hundred ages in a single night.
O let the Onsets Four of mindfulness
My study be, the Seven, the (noble) Eight!
For I [the infinite past] have called to mind:
Five hundred ages in a single night.
