What Britten is picking up on here (@ around 1:50) is the reversal of the iamb into the trochee -- strong/weak as opposed to weak/strong.  Shakespeare uses it carefully.  Sometimes it's called his "magic speech."  Usually hexameter as opposed to pentameter.  Generally it happens when someone is causing something good to happen.
