The Spanish ballad «Ensillenme el potro rucio» is attributed to Pedro Liñán de Riaza in manuscript 973 of the Royal Palace Library of Madrid. This romance has been transmitted by written and printed sources. The printed versions transmit an incomplete text that is missing 12 verses and 3 popular songs (coplas) which stands out when compared with the Gongoristic parody «Ensíllenme el asno rucio». This study aims to raise and resolve the following issues: editing the text based on all of the possible sources, and attributing it to its rightful author, according to the oldest handwritten source available, Pedro Liñán de Riaza
