The answer is: Pyramus’s long speech slows the pace to prolong suspense.

In the excerpt from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe," Pyramus believes a lion or a wild animal has killed Thisbe, because she has left her veil under a mulberry tree. As a consequence, he delivers a long speech which extends the progress of tension of the scene. Eventually, he stabs himself with his sword before Thisbe comes back and finds him dead.
