CSS: legend in the same row as fieldset - html

Question

I've a stars rating system and I want to put some legend on it (so it is not only the stars icons).
As I'm using Bootstrap4, I was thinking on using a row, and 2 cols to align them horizontally, however, my legend keeps getting some pixels above my stars.
I've also tried using margin-top: 10px on the legend, without the desired result.
#import url(//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/3.2.1/css/font-awesome.css);
fieldset, label {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
margin: 20px;
}
h1 {
font-size: 1.5em;
margin: 10px;
}
/****** Style Star Rating Widget *****/
.rating {

float: left;
}
.rating > input {
display: none;
}
.rating > label:before {
margin: 5px;
font-size: 1.25em;
font-family: FontAwesome;
display: inline-block;
content: "\f005";
}
.rating > .half:before {
content: "\f089";
position: absolute;
}
.rating > label {
color: #ddd;
float: right;
}

I've also tried using span tag:
#import url(//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/3.2.1/css/font-awesome.css);
fieldset, label {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
margin: 20px;
}
h1 {
font-size: 1.5em;
margin: 10px;
}
/****** Style Star Rating Widget *****/

}
.rating > label:before {
margin: 5px;
font-size: 1.25em;
font-family: FontAwesome;
display: inline-block;
content: "\f005";
}
.rating > .half:before {
content: "\f089";
position: absolute;
}
.rating > label {
color: #ddd;
float: right;
}
/***** CSS Magic to Highlight Stars on Hover *****/

Answer 1

I wrapped them all in the div col6 and set them to display flex and then i removed the margin 5px in .rating > label:before
#import url(//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/3.2.1/css/font-awesome.css);
/* NEW */
.col-md-6.col-lg-6 {
display: flex;
}
.rating > label:before {
font-size: 1.25em;
font-family: FontAwesome;
display: inline-block;
content: "\f005";
}
/* END */
fieldset, label {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
margin: 20px;
}
h1 {
font-size: 1.5em;
margin: 10px;
}
/****** Style Star Rating Widget *****/
.rating {

.rating > input {

}
.rating > .half:before {

position: absolute;
}
.rating > label {

}
/***** CSS Magic to Highlight Stars on Hover *****/
.rating > input:checked ~ label, /* show gold star when clicked */
.rating:not(:checked) > label:hover, /* hover current star */
.rating:not(:checked) > label:hover ~ label {

}
/* hover previous stars in list */
.rating > input:checked + label:hover, /* hover current star when changing rating */
