Okay, I do cryptograms all the time, been doing so for years. I found one that is messed up, somehow they made a mistake.
I figured it out, except there is no possible letter for I, I got everything else but that. Did they make a mistake?
I solved it. I don’t see any error in the puzzle.
The solution for the letter I:
The cryptogram letter I represents the plaintext V.
The whole solution:
An ape’s an ape. A varlet’s a varlet. Though they be clad in silk and scarlet.
The solution is an old proverb. Here is a link explaining its history and the meaning of the word that may be unfamiliar to you, spoilered in case anyone else still wants to solve the puzzle: Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs
Ah, that explains it, I had no idea that was a word. Thank you
