ADDENDUM: A conceit is also a "thought" -- specifically, an elaborate or strained metaphor. Elizabethan poetry swarms with conceits. Characteristic examples are in Shakespeare's Sonnet, "Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day?"
This is a sonnet
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
