This was a common technique used by Shakespeare, actually, and one of the reasons it was done was to show the difference in "refinement" between characters. Characters who were educated often spoke in verse. Characters who were uneducated often spoke rudely, with none of the meter and flow of the other lines... thus jarring the listener with the difference and emphasizing the difference... you audibly hear the jarring sound of someone who doesn't fit in. Thus, Shakespeare emphasized the difference between a prince and a thief not only with costume and the content of the lines, but also with the poetry and meter, so you could see and hear the difference between the characters.

What is a prose materials?
In terms of literature, I've always thought of prose materials as that of novels or stories. Although it can be non fiction and prose may be found in drama and poetry, for example, writing in a prosaic way in poetry - ordinary and straightforward, and some of Shakespeare's characters speak in prose, compared to the normal use of rhyming couplets. For the purposes of an exam asking you to bring in prose materials, they are most likely to mean novels and novellas, short stories etc. Hope that helps/is relevant.
