Please tell me the origin of Bai Juyi's sentence "But the worst fate of a poet is to fall like a king."

From Volume 440 of "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty"

"Li Bai's Tomb" Bai Juyi

Li Bai's Tomb by the Caishi River,

There are endless grass and clouds surrounding the fields.

Poor bones in the desolate ridge and poor spring,

There were once earth-shattering works.

But poets are so unlucky,

It is better to fall into poverty than a king.
