Those who wear "The Zone of Venus" "never know / To what enchanting charm they owe / The empire of the heart"
Metaphor in Context
The Zone of Venus, heavenly-fine,
Is Nature's handy-work divine,
  And not the web of Art;
And they who wear it never know
To what enchanting charm they owe
  The empire of the heart.
