1. Poetry should be about incidents and situations from common life and to 
    relate or describe them, the poet should use a certain colouring of
    imagination, whereby ordinary things should be presented in an unusual
    way.

2. The language, the poet should use, is one really used by men: the one of
    low and rustic life should generally chosen because it is less under
    restraint, plainer and more emphatic.
    In this condition our elementary feelings, like passion, are more accurately
    contemplated because they exist in a state of greater simplicity. So the
    language, these men adopted, communicate better these origin part: they
    convey their feelings and notions in simple and unelaborated expressions,
    as if they born.

3. A poet should be a man who speaks to all men. Wordsworth says he is a
    man who chooses common and rustic life: he seems to be an ordinary and
    usual man, even if he endues  with more lively sensibility, more enthusiasm
    and tenderness, a man who has got a greater knowledge of human nature
    and a more comprehensive soul, a man pleased with his own passion and
    volitions, that rejoices them more than other men and that contemplate
    and manifested them in the goings-on of the universe. To these qualities
    Wordsworth adds a dispostion to be affacted more than other men by
    absent things as if they were present: an ability of conjuring up in himself
    passions, which are indeed far from being the same as those produced by
    real events (imagination)

4. Poetry is emotion recollected in tranquillity. It is the spontaneous
    overflow of powerful feelings: emotions, that were feeling before, are
    contemplated in a state of tranquillity that gradually disappears to leave
    born a similar emotion that now exists in the mind.
