《明史·列传·卷一百一十七》
等到张居正父死不服丧，艾穆在家叹息，于是与主事沈思孝上疏劝谏说： 自从张居正不服丧后，妖星突然出现，星光直逼中天。
及居正遭丧夺情，穆私居叹息，遂与主事沈思孝抗疏谏曰： 自居正夺情，妖星突见，光逼中天。
When Zhang Juzheng's father died and he did not mourn, Ai Mu sighed at home, so he and the sacrificial minister Shen Sixiao submitted a memorial to advise him: Since Zhang Juzheng did not mourn, the evil star suddenly appeared, and the starlight went straight to the sky.
