When teaching, say, the Archpoet's 'Confession' (which begins 'Estuans intrinsecus ira vehementi'), I point out that if a medieval Latin poem can be sung to the melody of 'Good King Wenceslas', the poem is written in the Goliardic stanza.

(Try it out yourselves. A photo of the first three stanzas, from Raby's 'Oxford Book of Medieval Latin Verse', is attached to this post.)
