I hear you; however, one rarely gets a literary piece, let alone poetry, created specifically for them. To His Coy Mistress may sound formulaic and drab, but what if you are Mary Villiers, who Marvell was tutoring at the time and probably addressed in the poem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Villiers,_Duchess_of_Buck...)? You probably would view it differently.
