《明史·列传·卷四十九》
四年，他退休。此后他家居二十余年，敛迹不入公府，他的老屋仅蔽风雨，伏天和腊月都难以抵挡。景泰二年，去世。况钟，字伯律，靖安人。
其后宁波知府郑珞劾可烈不法，可烈竟罢去。况钟，字伯律，靖安人。
In the fourth year, he retired. Afterwards, he lived in seclusion for more than twenty years and never entered public service again; his old house was only able to shield from wind and rain and could hardly withstand the summer heat and the cold of December. In the second year of Jingtai, he died. Kuang Zhong, alias Boyu, was from Jing'an.
