I told him not

Is "I told him not" the same as "I didn't tell him"?

She loves me not = She doesn't love me ?

Sound kind of not normal. Do people speak like that?

No, not usually. "She loves me not" is a holdover from the past, when grammar was a little different.

Thanks! Sometimes hear this in songs.
