I cry your mercy (John Keats)

Is it just me, or is this poem not all that? Perhaps it is published because it written by a famous poet, but to me it sounds like what a smart love-sick teenager would write. Maybe I'm just in a bleh mood though and don't see its greatness.

N is madly in love/lust with some woman. And that's all I get from this poem. I don't like it very much since it doesn't expand the love to anything greater. It's too personal.

Favorite line: "lucent, million-pleasured breast"
