After the word "Caesar" there is a period. That's one of those little dots you see at the end of words sometimes. A period means that a sentence has come to an end. The sentence is "So let it be with Caesar". "Let it be" is a phrase you may have heard; it's a song by The Beatles. It means "let it go", "leave it alone", or "don't bother with it". The whole thing means "Leave it alone as far as Caesar goes." He's talking about the previous sentence "The evil that men do lives on after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." "Oft" means "often" and "interred" is a fancy way of saying "buried" He means that we tend to remember the bad stuff folks did and forget the good stuff. Is that going to happen with Caesar? Maybe, says Antony, but let's not worry about that. Let it go.
After the words "The noble Brutus" there is no period (one of those dots, remember?) so we know that this in not the end of the sentence. We should not expect it to make sense unless we know the whole sentence, which in this case is "The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious." Apart from the fact that "hath" is "has", just spelled differently and pronounced with a lisp, which you now know, you should be able to figure this one out.
