11 the tune the old cow died of
разг.; шутл.режущий слух мотив, какофония; скучная, плохо исполняемая музыка; ≈ от этого мухи дохнут [выражение ведёт происхождение от старинной баллады:There was an old man, and he had an old cow.But he had no fodder to give her,So he took up his fiddle and played her the tune:‘Consider, good cow, consider,This isn't the time for the grass to grow.Consider, good cow, consider’]It was kind of poor, and when he was going to start on the next verse one of them said it was the tune the old cow died on, and another one said, ‘Oh, give us a rest’... (M. Twain, ‘Life on the Mississippi’, ch. III) — Выходило у него неважно, и, когда он начал следующий куплет, один из сидевших высказал догадку, что именно от этой песни околела старая корова, другой же сказал: "Дай нам передохнуть".
...that is enough of the tune the old cow died of; take and play something to keep our hearts up. (Ch. Reade, ‘Love Me Little, Love Me long’, ch. III) —...сыграйте что-нибудь повеселее, хватит с нас этой унылой музыки.

12 the old Adam
"ветхий Адам", греховность человеческой натуры [намёк на грехопадение Адама; этим. библ. Romans VI, 6. В Библии our old man наш ветхий человек. Выражение the old Adam возникло позднее]Occasionally the old Adam - or should one say Eve? - would assert itself in my aunt and then, still thoughtful for others, she would descend into the kitchen and be disagreeable to Amy our new servitor, who never minded it. (J. K. Jerome, ‘Paul Kelver’, book I, ch. VIII) — Порой в душе моей доброй тетушки вдруг оживала неправедность прародителя нашего Адама, точнее - прародительницы Евы: она спускалась в кухню и делала выговор нашей новой служанке Эми, которая никогда на это не обижалась.
‘What are they thinking about just now?’ ‘Are they ever thinking about anything?’ she said it just as contemptuously as she would have in the past. ‘...it showed the old Adam was hot dead.’ (C. P. Snow, ‘The Affair’, part I, ch. 5) — - Интересно, о чем они сейчас думают? - А разве они когда-нибудь о чем-нибудь думали? - заметила она тем же презрительным тоном, что и прежде. -...грех, видно, сильнее, духовное возрождение не состоялось.
