In my view, the pace of Hamlet slows down in Act IV after the frenetic Act III. Hamlet gets to be offstage for a while (being on the boat to England), a welcome relief for the actor playing him no doubt. In the meantime, we hear a lot about Ophelia and Laertes. Ophelia is nuts and we pause to reflect on that. Although Laertes bursts into the palace with the intention of revenge upon Claudius, for the most part the scenes with Laertes are plotting and talk, talk, talk. The movement of the story is held up as the characters discuss their situation and prepare for what is to come in Act V: Hamlet's return.

Macbeth says it in the play Macbeth, just after hearing the news of his wife's death.

The pace or speed of the beat is called tempo.

pace is the speed at which the bowler bowls.
Pace is the speed that something is moving or changing. Other words are speed, or rate.
Pace is either the speed, rate of momentum or to walk back and forth in the same small area. It can also mean to move steadily, with deliberate or slower speed, as in 'pace yourself.' Pace has more than one meaning; it could mean "speed" (as in "the pace of change") or "stride" (as in "I reached him in three paces"). quickness: speed, tempo, velocity. action: stride, step, strut, stalk, jaunt, march, troop, amble. ration, steady, bridle, adjust (speed). 'Step' and 'stride' are two synonyms that can be used for 'pace' as both a noun and a verb. 'Pace' can also mean 'speed'.
A pace is the amount of distance covered in a single footstep, a way of stepping, or a general term for speed or velocity.
Using short words like "lick, flick" that convey quick actions and convey speed in some way, increase the pace or speed of the poem. Whereas words that linger longer, for example "oozing" and often alliterations slow down the pace of the poem Hope that helped.
It is Irish for speed or pace
Pace and speed are equivalent, in the sense that they both are a measure of how fast you are going. However, they are actually the inverse of each other, in terms of units of measurement. Pace usually refers to minutes per mile, while speed is measured as miles per hour. So, for example, if you are going at a pace of 6 minutes per mile, your speed is 10 miles per hour. As you slow down, your speed approaches zero while your pace approaches inifinity (one reason that GPS watches have trouble displaying pace at slow speeds).
