Shakespeare's 29, 130, and 18 are all good ones to start with. (First lines below)

When in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Edna St. Vincent Millay and Claude McKay wrote some lovely sonnets in the 20th century. So did E.E. Cummings, although most people associate him with lowercase letters and other typographical oddities more than with rhyme and meter. Rhina Espaillat is one of the best sonneteers writing today. You can look all of them up online.
