Vast dew, sun, sultry, misty, & hot.  This is the weather that men think is injurious to hops.  The sun “shorn of his beams” appears thro’ the haze like the full moon.

Vast honey-dew; hot & hazey; misty. The blades of wheat in several fields are turned yellow, & look as if scorched with the frost. Wheat comes into ear. Red even: thro’ the haze. Sheep are shorn.
