S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The evil that men do is remembered, but the good they have done is often buried with them.

Explanation:

According to the given excerpt, Antony makes a speech at the funeral of Caesar and he talks about how good of a man Caesar was, even though he mentioned that the evil men do live after them. He spoke of how the "noble" Brutus described the late Caesar as an ambitious man, and that he believes Brutus's words, even though Caesar was his friend.

Therefore, the modern meaning of the first two lines of the passage means that the evil that men do is remembered, but the good they have done is often buried with them.
