what do you mean? lede is the first paragraph (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lede_(news)) so you seem to be saying

"An well written little essay that buries the first paragraph on the last paragraph. ;-)"

and why (what?) is the "first paragraph on the last paragraph"? did you mean "in"?

"An well written little essay that buries the first paragraph in the last paragraph. ;-)"

and it should be "a", right?

"A well written little essay that buries the first paragraph in the last paragraph. ;-)"

but i still don't understand what you're trying to say.

Had you read your own reference, you would have found a definition of "burying the lead" which might have assisted you.
