When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause: there's the respect that makes calamity of so long life; this excerpt is an example of blank verse.
"Blank verse" is a literary term for poetry written in non-rhyming but metered lines, most often in iambic pentameter. It means that each line contains 5 iambics (two pairs of syllables with stress on the second syllable). A blank verse has no ending rhyme. The verse lines in metered verse (usually iambic pentameter) simply follow each other without being connected by rhyming words. Blank verse is not a modern invention. Christopher Marlowe and Shakespeare, among others, popularized the use of blank verse in their plays.
